songs in hidden itunes hidden folders not coming up

I had a problem where a large chunk of my songs in iTunes where not found.

I would click to play and it would ask me to locate the file.

I the proceeded to re-create my library using these steps:

Now, I notice that a lot of my music is not even in my library...although when searching my desktop i do find them in the iTunes hidden folders...

I've tried to undide the folders and then drag and drop into iTunes but it doesnt work...

Big question now is, how to I get all of those songs back in my iTUnes??

Thanks,

Dell, Windows 7

I just figured it out..lol

In case anyone has this problem.

go into Windows control panel and change settings so that you can see hidden files.

Then go into the folder where the hidden files are and select all of them, then right lick and uncheck the box so that files are no longer hidden.

Once files are no longer hidden you can just drag and drop into iTunes...booyaah!!
