You need to do what you did from a user ID with administrator rights. If you don't have administrator rights, you can call your IT guys and tell them what you need to do. Usually you can see a hidden folder or open a hidden file if you type in the correct name of the folder rather than trying to click on something.

When you go to folder options, click the view tab. Checkmark 'Show hidden files and folders'. After doing so, hit apply. Sometimes you need to freshly restart your computer in order to save this configuration. simply go to Start > Shutdown > Restart. That way you don't have to keep going to folder options to change the settings.

For some reason XP doesn't like to display hidden folders even though you have changed the settings. Just keep trying and it should work at some point.

its due to a virus.... some malicious program would have entered into your system.... download the new avg 8 from the internet and install and scan it.... it cures....
