Show Hidden Files and Folders Not Working?


Show Hidden Files and Folders not working?..... If we selecte the radio button “Show hidden files and folders” and then press Ok.. the changes would just disappear upon opening the dialog again. It was probably some virus attack after which the Windows registry was not being updated properly. So here is what methods to restore it back. There are so many methods to restore back the registry. If one method is not working, please try another one.

Go to registry editor by running regedit in the run box.
Go to this key:

Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced


In the right hand area, double click hidden and change the value to 1.
