Can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders"

I have previously posted this problem, but now I have some new info.

 

As the subject says, I can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders." I have gone

into Explorer>Tools>Folder Options>View> and ticked "Show Hidden Files and

Folders -On." Everyone suggested that I check this first. However, when I

was poking around in the registry I found the following settings. It seems

to me that they are not correct for showing hidden folders. I have played

around with them some, but to no avail. I thought someone more

knowledgeable than me might spot a problem.

 

Thanks for any help,

Dan Hacker

Re: Can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders"

 

You're my hero!

 

This revealed the hidden and system files/folders. However, the neither of

the check boxes under Hidden Files in the Windows Explorer are checked; any

thoughts on this?

 

 

Thanks,

Re: Can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders"

 

Hmm. Don't know for sure. Something might be bugged up somewhere in

the subkeys here:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder

Re: Can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders"

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

 

I'm using W2KSP4, and I don't seem to have the subkey

(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advan

ced\Folder) that you mentioned. Is it me, or is it Memorex?

 

 

Thanks for the reply,

Dan Hacker

You should have one. Without it you couldn't set many, if any, of the

Ooooohhhhhh! You meant HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE not HKEY_CURRENT_USER,

You should have one. Without it you couldn't set many, if any, of the

folder options!

Re: Can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders"

 

The differences between the 2 files are "Negative" (Do not) instead of

"Positive" (Do) actions and the unchecked or checked values that

accompany them.

 

This is a compare of the two files, my file is 1 and yours is 2. The

numbers xx> indicate the line number in the files:

 

==============================================================================

 

** comparing (1) jg.txt and (2) u2.txt

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN]

 

1.44>"Text"="Do not show hidden files and folders"

2.44>"Text"="Show hidden files and folders"

 

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL]

 

1.54>"Text"="Show hidden files and folders"

1.55>"Type"="radio"

1.56>"CheckedValue"=dword:00000001

2.54>"Text"="Do not show hidden files and folders"

2.55>"Type"="radio"

2.56>"CheckedValue"=dword:00000002

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden]

 

1.136>"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001

2.136>"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000002

 

** Time: 0.0 s Lines in file 1: 179 file 2: 179

** The files are significantly different (5+5 lines in 3 blocks)

 

===================================================================================

 

If the "Do" or "Do Not" actions are different then checked and unchecked

values are different but the end results will be the same. If the

actions are the same but the checked/unchecked values are different, or

vice-versa, then when you tag the Radio button it may be doing the

opposite of what you think it is doing.

 

At line 44 area the "Do, Do not" actions on your machine are different

than on mine yet the checked/unchecked values are the same.

 

At line 136 area the actions are the same yet the checked/unchecked

values are different.

 

Do you see what I mean? At lines 54,55,56 the actions *and*

checked/unchecked values are both different so those will (should) do

the same thing.

 

Because of some of those differences you may be doing the opposite of

what it is that you think that you are doing when you change the options.

 

Clear as mud, isn't it? ;-)

Re: Can't revert to "Show Hidden Folders"

 

Youdaman!!

 

You were right about the registry differences. I changed mine to match

yours, and it appears to have fixed everything. Now I've got to figure out

what caused the problems in the first place.

 

As a side note, how did you do the registry comparisons? If you used a

program/utility, I could use it myself. If you did it by hand, I am

extremely grateful for your time/trouble. In any event many thanks!
