“Show Hidden Files and Folders” not Working ???

One of our readers, says that he is able to find “Show hidden files and folders“, but when applied, it doesn’t work, and apart from that, it gets back to “Do not show hidden files and folders” when reopened and checked.

Here is solution to that problem

1. Go to Start –> Run, type Regedit
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
3. In the right pane, look for key “CheckedValue” and change the value to “1“
4. Also look for key that says “DefaultValue” and change its value to “2“
