  4. Hi Abey Sun, to restore the hidden folder; On windows 8 you just have to click on the View Tab on the ribbon and then mark the hidden box.
    Every hidden item will now be available for you to see.

    On windows 7, go to where you hide the file or folder. On the toolbar, click on Organize. The tool is below the menu bar. scroll down to folder and search option in the drop down menu and then click on the view tab.

    Under the advance settings, select the option that says show all hidden item. Then click on apply. You hidden files and folder should be available for you to see.
