If you can't see Hidden files/folders in your computer

If you can't see Hidden files/folders in your computer, even after enabling the option "Show hidden files/folders" in (Tools -> Folder Options), then its automatically disabled again.


Here are two tricks to Unhide it:


Solution 1:
=========


1) Start -> Run and type "regedit" without the quotes and press OK.


2) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced


3) In right-side pane, change value of "Hidden" to as following:


(1) - To show hidden file
(2) - To not show hidden files


Solution 2:
=========


1) Start -> Run and type "regedit" without the quotes and press OK.




2) Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folde r\Hidden\SHOWALL


3) Delete the value CheckedValue. (Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 0 or 1.)


Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD) by right clicking on the right pane -> New -> DWORD Value. Modify the value data to 1 (0x00000001).


If it doesn't work, then surely there is a virus scan your pc with an anti-virus.
