I never have done this, but try Open the Command Prompt, Then type
attrib -h C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
NOTE space after the b, and after the h C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc is an example as to the 'path' to a folder. Use your own PATH to the folder in question.
You can verify the above by typing attrib /? in the Command Prompt.
