"show hidden files and folders" check problem

Start >> Run >> (type) regedit >> (rightclick on the little my computer icon, and export the whole thing.)find this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced. Go to the rightside of the window, where the values are.
Find the value "Hidden" .
Rightclick it and modify it to 1.


This next text is from my own registry. Kopy it to notepad, then rename the notepad file, so it have the extension .reg ,and then doubleclick it.:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden]"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30499""Type"="group""Bitmap"=hex(2):25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,00,6f,00,74,\00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,53,00,\48,00,45,00,4c,00,4c,00,33,00,32,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,2c,00,34,00,00,\00"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51131"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN]"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced""Text"="@shell32.dll,-30501""Type"="radio""CheckedValue"=dword:00000002"ValueName"="Hidden""DefaultValue"=dword:00000002"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51104"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL]"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced""Text"="@shell32.dll,-30500""Type"="radio""CheckedValue"=dword:00000001"ValueName"="Hidden""DefaultValue"=dword:00000002"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51105"You can also try to Start >> run >> (type) sfc /scannowOr try to search for help on some tweak-forums.Or ultimately a repair operation.Remember the threat of a possible virus. I read about one called W32 that did something with the above mentioned registry-keys.
Good luck.
