If you type ls -a , then you'll see all files, including hidden files. Why is it that hidden files start with a dot? The answer is very simple – because it's extremely easy to test if a file is hidden or not by simply testing the first character of the filename, which doesn't involve reading any extra file meta info.
Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization. Select Folder Options, then select the View tab. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.

Select Start > Control Panel. In the Control Panel dialog, double-click Appearance and Personalization. In the Appearance And Personalization dialog box, double-click Folder Options, or click Show Hidden Files and Folders under Folder Options.
