I can hide folders using Windows Vista but I cannot find them again once I hide them. How do you relocate hidden folders using the Windows Vista operating system?

Go to control panel and click "folder options" and click the view tab and scroll down to "Hidden files and folders" and put a tick next to "Show hidden files and folders". A simple google search would tell you this.

Thank you for the information. Quite annoying how Microsoft changed many features in Vista that are different from XP.

You can write for example:
C:\Hidden\

If the folder is called Hidden and located in C:\
