To unhide that file,you need to go to Folder Options/View tab in the Control Panel...not "file properties". Two more ways to fix the shelliconcahe are as follows; Open your display applet via control panel,or a right click on the desktop,select properties,on the settings tab,change your color settings,ok out,then go change them back. Or,reboot to safe mode,then reboot to normal mode.
