Guest gary Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Windows XP Home Edition...folder options, view, hidden files and folders...mine is hung up on "Show hidden files and folders". I click the "do not show" radio button, apply, okay. I go back later to check and it is back to the "Show hidden files and folders". Is there a fix available?

Hi gary Open Regedit (Start | Run | regedit) and navigate to the key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN] What do you have for CheckedValue and DefaultValue? Both should be set to 0x00000002 (2). -- Nightowl

Hi Gary No, it isn't. For SHOWALL, CheckedValue should be 0x00000001 (1). This could well be what's causing the problem. Try changing it, reboot then try again to select "Do not show. . ." -- Nightowl
