How do i make folders on my desktop ';unhidden'; after mistakenly hiding them?

most of the folders accessible through my desktop, their subfolders, and files, are hidden



i know how to unhide a normal folder: right click, properties, and uncheck the hidden selection



however, when i right click on the desktop in windows explorer, it brings up that desktop settings menu, where i can change monitor, desktop bg image, screensaver, etc, settings.



i do not see an option to unclick hidden files when i right click on desktop in windows explorer.
