Hidden Files and Folders are not visible

[Guest]

Recently i've noticed that HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDER are not visible even
though they are all there but not visible

cause i can access them directly through my favourite entry in windows
explorer, also

everytime i've tried to check the radio button in Tools--Folder
-Option--View to " Hide Hidden

Files and Folder" and clicked Apply and close the dialog box it reverts back
to " +Show hidden

file and folder" but not showing any hidden folder. I've run Spyware Doctor,
Ad-ware, Spybot

CA antivirus and spyware, all come clean no problems, only Xsoft's spyware
detected two

problems in Registry, it says "Eventlog.exe" from HKEY classes Root clsid,
and HKEY local

machine, which i'd tried to remove couple of time but at every reboot they
comeback so i'd

removed them manually and they are gone, but hidden folders are still no
show. Please help,

I've two administrator accounts on this toshiba laptop,e.g say AA & BB,
running windows MCE

2005 edition fully patched,the other account BB which i don't use frequently
is working good

showing all Hidden Folders & Files charactarstically.

thanks

Hi Tony,

See line 127 (right hand side) and line 155:
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

If neither of the above helps - navigate to this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

If a Dword value named NoFolderOption is there, delete it or change the
value to 0.
