resetting default folder options - XP Home (SP3)

[MyBrainIsFried]

I was fixing a friend's PC and reset some folder options (specifically, I
asked
File Mgr to show contents of folders such as C:\Programs, C:\Windows, etc,
where they used to come up with a warning about knowing the risks of messing
about), and, now that the PC is humming along nicely, I'd like to reset said
folders back to their default behavior to avoid any "accidents" on the part
of users.

The 3 users on the machine all have "admin" priveleges -- in my travels, i
*did* see an option for setting it back to "don't view" but I don't remember
if that was before or after the SP3 install.

Does anybody know how to get back to the default behaviour??

You need to launch Windows Explorer, then go to tools, Folder Options,
View tab. Now first thing you want to do is to press the Restore
Defaults Button at the bottom. Then you want to Press on Reset All
folders button then Click on Apply to all folders.

Click OK. Close Windows Explorer and now when you open it everything
should be as before.

Specifically, the setting to which you are referring is probably the "Hide
