You should certainly have a Hidden check box when viewing the properties of files or folders. Instead of looking at the properties of a whole bunch of selections, try narrowing your selection to a single file or folder (you might have picked up a system folder, in which case you cannot turn Hidden off)

Check out this tutorial and double check you're in the right spot

I assume it's not just that you want to see the hidden files or folders. You want to change their attribute, right?

Failing the above, you could use the old attrib command (within a command prompt), something along the lines of:

attrib -h c:\foldername\*.* /s /d

The /s switch will turn off the hidden attribute for all files and files in sub-folders
The /d switch will turn off the hidden attribute for all folders and sub-folders

You could specify file types (or a specific file too) instead of using *.*
