Viewing Hidden Files....
Posted by Hemant Golchha on April 24th, 2008


I know that to view hidden files, it is required to go to Tool > Folder
Option > View and enable - Show hidden Files. But the problem is when I do
so, the option sets back to 'Do not show hidden files' mode and I cannot view
the hidden files.

Kindly help me urgently...

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
Kaspersky
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode with Networking and try the change.
