Show hidden files --> Files now missing

Hello friends,

I am in a bit of a bind. I simply clicked the "show hidden files" option on my C:/Users folder. Inside of 20 seconds, my libraries are all rearranged and none of my files are where I put them originally. They have seemingly vanished.

I downloaded ShadowExplorer and thankfully confirmed that I can still open my files when I refer back to an earlier restore point within the program, but when I go to restore the files, they don't go back to where I send them. I don't know where my files are, nor how to access them outside of this ShadowExplorer program.

I did try a regular 'ol Windows system restore, but those don't affect files, so the problem remains. Anyone have any idea what the hell I did and how I might go about fixing it?

Thank you immensely for your consideration.

Ah ha! It would seem that all of my files are now hidden, and clicking "show hidden files" in my Libraries reveals them. Now, how I managed to hide ALL MY FILES when I had intended to just see hidden ones is really quite beyond me, but I am hugely relieved. Is there a way to mass unhide files?

I'd like to thank you for your help :) Thus ends this chapter of "The problem between the chair and the screen", thanks for tuning in, kids!
