Turning photos in photo viewer- go to hidden files then must change attributes one by one ! Need help here.

Got a Sony Vaio laptop -VPCEB4E1E with windows 7 & Home Premium.  Have used 2 Vaio laptops before and turned photos in normal Windows photo viewer without any problem.

When I load  a batch of several hundred photos- any photo which I turn disappears.  I sorted this by changing settings to show hidden files. But then the file is partly showing faded so to make it fully operational- I then have to right click on each photo-hit 'properties'- hit 'attributes' then uncheck 'hidden'. When you try another photo- the changed settings go back to 'attributes' and 'hidden'. This taking so many hours + days longer to sort photos.

Can anyone solve the 2 problems. Any ideas how photos will show when turning and not having to have them as hidden files ? Also can I make hidden files showing as 'uncheck hidden' as a permanent default.  Do I have a faulty computer or is it something in the settings ?

A friend has a Toshiba laptop with Wins & Hom Prem and photos turn normally.  Is it a new Sony security feature ??

Hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance !
