Guest Tony Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Recently i've noticed that HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDER are not visible even though they are all there but not visible cause i can access them directly through my favourite entry in windows explorer, also everytime i've tried to check the radio button in Tools--Folder -Option--View to " Hide Hidden Files and Folder" and clicked Apply and close the dialog box it reverts back to " +Show hidden file and folder" but not showing any hidden folder. I've run Spyware Doctor, Ad-ware, Spybot CA antivirus and spyware, all come clean no problems, only Xsoft's spyware detected two problems in Registry, it says "Eventlog.exe" from HKEY classes Root clsid, and HKEY local machine, which i'd tried to remove couple of time but at every reboot they comeback so i'd removed them manually and they are gone, but hidden folders are still no show. Please help, I've two administrator accounts on this toshiba laptop,e.g say AA & BB, running windows MCE 2005 edition fully patched,the other account BB which i don't use frequently is working good showing all Hidden Folders & Files charactarstically. thanks
