Using Ubuntu 13.04. Like the title says, when I open Nautilus it automatically shows all the hidden folders. Any ways to get back to not showing them by default?

Try Ctrl + h , hidden folder view is persistent on Nautilus 3.6.3 like Thunar.
Edit: Make sure show hidden is not enabled in preferences either.

No, it's not here for some reason. If I press ctrl+h to hide the folders, close the windows and reopen it, they're all showing again.
nautilus --version shows I'm using Nautilus 3.8.0
Did you do a sudo apt-get update, then try to remove and reinstall Nautilus? If you have trouble with the command line use the 'Synaptic Package Manager' and mark nautilus for 'complete removal' then reboot, then do a reinstall. If you don't have the synaptic package manager you can get it form the software manager. In Synaptic when you mark something it gives you a choice of whether to remove, completely remove, or install. It also fixes broken packages. You can try to type in Nautilus in the search box then click on broken on the left side of the pane, it may fix it in Synaptic.

Using the terminal, get your current dconf setting...
Reset to default (false)...Code:gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files
Code:gsettings reset org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files
Check again (should show false)...
Should now always revert to not showing hidden files once nautilus is closed.Code:gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files

Well,
Does return false, yet it is still showing them by default.Code:gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files
This:
Code:dconf dump /org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/
returns:
Code:default-folder-viewer='icon-view' always-use-browser=true click-policy='double' show-advanced-permissions=false enable-delete=false
I have the same problem too!
Even if I uncheck the option, Hidden files are display again on the next nautilus window I open! :/
EDIT: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1171852Code:$ dconf dump /org/gnome/nautilus/preferences/ show-hidden-files=false always-use-location-entry=true sort-directories-first=true $ gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files False

open terminal and type:

Enter and then:
