When the first Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview was released many people discovered that its possible to browse the hidden file system of the OS but this was always somewhat tricky.

Now with tens of thousands of more people on the Windows 10 Mobile TP Windows Hive revisited the issue and have posted this video tutorial which shows how easy it is to accomplish simply by using the search function of the File Explorer.

Windows Hive notes that browsing the file system already led to some discoveries, such as that Windows 10 Mobile uses the same connected standby for the phone as the desktop, and that the OS supports USB Dual Mode, which allows a device to work as both a USB Host and USB client at the same time.

Thanks Surendra for the tip.
