In windows you cannot search hidden and

system files, because by default search system

does not support to search hidden and system

files. This is normally done to protect these

files from users to modify and delete

accidentally. Many computer viruses, Trojan and

hackers hide their files in your computer, in

this way making it hard to find them and then

delete them. Some key logger and password

breaker software hides their files from user to

keep user password and credit card history. But

you can search these hidden files (viruses,

spyware, key logger) with some modification in

search system.

To search the hidden

or system file, follow the giving step:

/>
First click on Start button then click

on Search option.

Here click on

"All files and folders" then click on

More advanced options.

In advanced

options, select the Search system folders and

Search hidden files and folders check boxes.

/>
Now your computer configured to search

all hidden and system files.
