Hidden Files Problem

[Guest]

While selecting the option "Show Hidden Files & Folders" in the Folder
Options, the hidden files still don't appear and the radio button is again
shown against "Do not show hidden files or folders". Please help me out to
solve this problem.

Thanks,

Are you logged on with the rights of an Administrator. You could always
make the changes by logging on as the Administrator in safe mode to make
this change.

Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings and
verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked
and "Hide protected operating system files " is unchecked. You may need
to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that
the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.
Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected and then
select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total Size, and
Free Space.

Hope this helps.
