Answer :

You can also configure Windows to show hidden files in the file manager, but since this is rarely needed, I prefer to use the total commander for this purpose. It is true that this program also needs to be set to show hidden files, but it is very simple. If you haven't already total commandered, download it HERE. After starting the program, click on the settings menu item, then on the general settings menu in the drop-down menu. [img alt_text = 'show hidden files' description = ''] https:///wp-content/uploads/2016/11/total1.png [/ img] Then check the box next to "Show hidden file "checkbox. Then apply the settings and the hidden files will be visible. [img alt_text = 'show hidden files' description = ''] https:///wp-content/uploads/2016/11/total2.png [/ img]
