Tech Advice 1
↣ In the past, I received numerous emails asking me how to get back the “Show Hidden Files and Folders” option in the Folder Options dialog.
↣ The good part is that I found a registry tweak that will bring back this option.
↣ 9 out of 10 people have this problem and as per my knowledge the only reason behind this problem is spyware infected computer system.
↣ Note: Spyware removal software will not be able to restore this option but performing a scan will ensure that all spywares are removed from your system.
Manual Registry Tweak
↣ Open run window by pressing WIN Key + R. Type “regedit” and press Enter. This will open the registry editor. Navigate to the following:
↣ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden
↣ Search for key named “Type” and change the value to “group”.
↣ If you are unable to find any such key then create a new key
↣ Now, check the folder options dialog and your “Show Hidden Files and Folders” option is back.
