Deactivated "Show hidden folders ....." and other problems

A

Amir

I have apparently a similar problem as that of Spencer Marlow more than three
years back, but perhaps a multiple of problems. I have WinXP (Media Center
Edition) SP3 installed on Dell 1505. The computer is configured for use by me
and my daughter. There are various differences in folders that appear in my
and her settings. For example, 'Folder Options' does appear in my Control
Panel and also under Tools(but not in hers). However, in both settings, the
Start>Control Panel>FolderOptions or Start>My Computer>Tools>Folder
Options>View>Show hidden folders ...... is deactivated.
I click the button for 'Show hidden folders ...' , click Apply and then OK
but nothing happens. I go back and see that the button for 'Hide folders
......' still has a dot in it as before. Similarly, if I right click the
cursor on a
picture and want to send it to a mail recipient, it goes out but nothing
happens in her case. Will the solution (then given by Steve) that worked
forSpencer Marlow work for me too?
I have Lavasoft's Ad-Aware, Spyware Doctor, Windows Defender and MS
Malicious Software Removal Tool in addtion to avast! anti- virus. I have also
scanned my computer with PrevX CSI and Kaspersky but no malware or virus has
been detected by them. Could I please be guided as to where the fault lies
and how do I go about resolving it.
I shall also be grateful if I could be advised whether it is possible to
transfer one person's settings to the other person's settings on the same
computer.
