Hi guys,

I have the same problem. Where cant view my hidden files. I tried to edit registry.. i.e. changed the value of "Hidden" from 2 to 1. No joy... its changing back to value 2 again and again...
Scanned the computer for viruses.. nothing..

Will repairing windows help??

Please suggest...

Thanks.
