    Hi all,

    I want to see hidden files in my PC.
    I know how to see hidden files....in the drive, Tool>Folder options>view and click on "show hidden files and folder ".
    After doing OK, if i go back to the option again, "do not show hidden files and folders" is checked. Means it is not allowing me to select the option "show hidden files and folders "

    Thanking you in advance....

    Amit

    Sounds as though you account doesn't have Administrative privledges. Is the account a Limited User account?

    Possibly a Registry key is corrupt. Click HERE and select RUN when asked. Allow the file to add the correct values to your Registry. Check for effect and report back please. There are other possibilities but they are not the norm.
