    Dear Sir,

    I am using Win XP Pro OS. Some of hidden files are not appearing even though i'm opting for ''show hidden files and folders'' selection in folder view option.

    Regards

    Uncheck ' Hide protected operating system files' under Folder Options > View.

    might be a nasty problem with : "show hidden files and folders''

    when you uncheck those boxes...and press Apply, ... and close the settings window ...and than return to the same menu ...are the boxes still checked?

    if so, it`s a malware problem, and you need to post in a different thread

    Problem sorted out

    Dears,

    With the help of one of my friend, i sort out the problem by modify registry in following
    way-.

    1.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
    Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advance
    2.Double click hidden and change the value to 1.

    Thanks all of you for reply.

    Regards,
