Cannot view hidden files and folders

I have windows 7 home edition 64bit with service pack 1. There is no Appearance in Control Panel. When I click on Personalization there is not a folder option or a view tab. Therefore, I cannot view hidden files and folders.

I tried again and got the same result after un-checking do not show hidden files via another means, which I cannot remember, but found when searching for another option to view hidden files and folders.

I assumed A & P was in one folder. Is this correct?

This is really bugging me. Can you tell me why I do not have an Appearance and Personalization Folder in my Control Panel?
And why I do not have a folder option in my Appearance Folder?

And ultimately how I fix it or access it properly?

This started when I was trying to uninstall IWon and couldn't find it to do an uninstall. It finally did show up in my Programs and I was able to uninstall. I hope I got all the components etc...anyway.

Thank you much,
