Hidden Folders

Downloader999 · 02-19-2007, 12:33 AM

Im running XP Pro and am having trouble viewing hidden files/folders. Under Tools in Folder Options I can check one of two options, show or do not show hidden files/folders. Up until recently I had them visible. Now when I go into that menu both options are simultaneously checked and I cannot see my hidden stuff. Even when I uncheck both and then recheck "show hidden files" only and apply, it doesnt change anything. why is this happening and how do I fix it? thanx alot

What about Total Commander?
Can it see hidden folders?

You can give it a try through registry:
1. Start -> Run -> type: regedit
2. Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Find value Hidden and set to 1.
Find value ShowSuperHidden and set to 1.

P.S.
Make sure you set commander to show hidden/system files in Configuration -> Options -> Display
