hidden files

Had a computer with windows xp home that got the virus windows xp recovery. Connected hard drive to my windows 7 computer to save my documents, etc.

Reinstalled xp and copied my files back, but for some reason they are now hidden files. Can only view them with hidden files and folders shown.

Is there some way to "unhide them" so they are normal again.

sorry to have bothered you. Figured it out.

Just have to go to properties of each folder on the xp computer and uncheck hidden.
