How to unhide all IE Favorites and other files?

All of my files were hidden by a virus, and most of them still are.

Are there any tips specifically that would unhide my IE favorites?

Or is there something that I can do to unhide all of my files (the ones that have been unhidden are either locked and/or appear faded, as if they're not fully recovered).

I have gone to my Contol Panel > File Options and made sure "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" was checked, etc.

I've unchecked "hide extensions for known file types" as well as "hide protected operating system files" as multiple sources has told me to do so.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
