show hidden files

[Guest Raymond Chiu]

Dear all,

 

click my computer -> tools menu -> folder options -> view tab.

I want to choose "Show hidden files and folders".

But no use after apply as it still choose "Do not Show hidden files and

folders"

The user is administrator. Why it prohibit me to choose "Show hidden files

and folders"? How can I do and why such happen?

 

Thanks for you help,

 

Raymond
