i have a problem in my PC that when i want to show the hidden files and select the option " Show hidden files and folders " in Folder options and press Apply button, but it did not show the hidden files and when i check the folder options the option selected is " dont show the hidden files ". i have repeated this process many times but it did not worked.. i have Kerpersky antivirus installed and every day it detects same files as virus and adwares and i delete these files but next day same files are there again. plz help me what should i do.
 
That seems wierd. Since it is a radio button only one option is allowed to be selected.

Try this

1] Click Start -> Run and type regedt32.

2] Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
On the right hand side double click on Hidden and set its value to 1.

3] Press F5 to refresh.

Now you should be able to view Hidden files and folders.


This is what abbh said in another thread... this will cure the hidden folders problem, but u need to get rid of the viruses...

when i change the value to 1 and refresh it ,, the value again changes back to 2:rolle


some processes were running in Task Manager and when i removed them from task manager, it is now showing the Hidden files and folders.

( SVCHOST.EXE ) and one another process

bro.. this is due to a virus.. svchost.exe is also a windows critical process, but is most commonly targeted by viruses... do a god virus scan and remove all traces of the viruses
