Err...Windows XP -does- have Explorer. It's the main running program. If you Ctrl-Alt-Del, then select the "Processes" tab and click the column header "Image Name", you will see "explorer*****" is always running and constantly hogging up around 20MB of memory (at least on my XP home machine).
And no, there isn't a way to just search for hidden files without some external program or shell extension. Sorry I can't be of more help.
