If you come across a situation where your system got infected by a virus which no matter got cleaned by any antivirus program but its aftershocks can be felt in different areas of working, one out of them is that it disables the show hidden files option, you go to control panel -> Folder option -> View -> and select show hidden files and folders and come back and notice that nothing has show yet, you go again and see whats that? that check has automatically revert back to the other option. This is some thing I was referring to the "aftershocks". Now what to do to enable that option?
Follow these below mentioned steps to sort this out:
Start -> Run ->
Type "regedit" without quotes in the window and press enter
Navigate through
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Explorer -> Advanced -> Folder -> Hidden -> SHOWALL
Now on your right side look for a DWORD key named as "CheckedValue".
Delete that key and recreate it with the same name, open it and give it the value 1.
Restart your machine and see for yourself, that option would get its functionality back and your hidden files and folders are now visible whenever you chose to select that option.
