Hidden Files?

[NeedsHelpALot]

I bought a new computer.
I need to get my iPods music onto my new computers iTunes.
I know how to do this.
You go to Tools > Folder Options > View, and then check the option that
basically says "Show Hidden files and what-not". This makes it so I can see
all the music on the iPod and save them to the Hard-drive. From the
hard-drive I can just transfer it to iTunes.
But I can't view those hidden files. When I got back into Folder Options, it
shows that when I checked "Show Hidden Files" it actually went back to
default (do NOT show hidden files [which is NOT what I need])

To sum it all up. It won't let me view hidden files.

P.S I also tried to checked "Display the contents of system folders"
I also unchecked "hide protected operating systems....."

P.P.S I also tried it vice-versa from "P.S"

A bug called RECYCLER.exe does this. Check the link below.

See if this link can help you. I had a similar problem on another PC and had
to mess with the registry settings to get it to work.
