Office 2007 - Shortcut key to temporarily display hidden folders?

There is a shortcut key (or key combination) that you can press to
temporarily display hidden folders in a list of folders. Anyone know what it
is? Thanks in advance. P.S. I know how to change Folder options in the
Control Panel to show hidden files and folders, but I don't want to
permanently change my settings to always display hidden files/folders.

I remembered! There is no shortcut key, but here's how to temporarily
display hidden folder (though you must know its name): Right-click on Start,
choose Explore, browse to the folder that contains the hidden folder, then
click in the navigation text box (at top of dialog), you can then type
"\[name of hidden folder]" to see inside the hidden folder, without changing
View defaults permanently. - rgille
