How do you view or unzip files that have been zipped as hidden? I was not aware they were hidden, until I tried to unzip them.
Thanks, Doug

Un-hide the file first....

In Windows Explorer... right-click on the file and left-click on Properties. Uncheck the "hidden" file attribute.

Then you should be able to unzip normally. But you may also need a password.

Companies that hide zipped up stuff on their cds, usually won't give you a password unless there's a reason to.
