Thanks, but i don't mean to program it that way. I just want to know if there is a way to access them even if the option is set to true. – alex Oct 21 '11 at 12:05

If you know the hidden folder name or full path, just submit it in File Name field - then you will see the hidden folder contents.

For example, submit .src to go to hidden subdirectory .src.
