HIDDEN hidden folders

I was doing backing up of certain files, reg files in particular (take ownership, add copyto, etc)
I was using "everything" programs which lists files on all drives.
I came across one reg disableanti.reg in a very odd place.I viewed the file in note pad and it said it disables
antivirus programs and notifications. Possible leftover from a Virus? I deleted it of course.

But here's the thing....It was in C:\users\thomas\skydrive
Which when viewed in explorer wasn't there .
to get to the file I had to type it into the address bar to get to it.
show hidden and system file is checked in explorer option.

My question is how can I see if there are other Hidden Hidden folder without knowing the name?

One way a folder can remain hidden in File Explorer, even with show hidden folders turned on, is if it is also marked as a System file.

Make a Super Hidden Folder in Windows Without any Extra Software

As to finding them, well a command prompt can find folders that File Explorer doesn't show. use: DIR /S /P /A:SH

no problems with profiles and I have the paid version of malbytes.

I just wanted to know if there is a way of seeing all those "secrect" hidden folders.
