    Viewing the porn has made you go blind, and you cannot see that the folder is unhidden?

      Open My computer and than click tools....folder options. Look for the tab called View and than click show hidden files and folders.

      You should be able to see the folder now.

          That's me told  :'(

          Anyway, not being able to view hidden files and folders is one symptom of a malware infection. You should take the appropriate action - virus check, spyware check, etc.

          This was totally uncalled for, and rude indeed.

          Well, I didn't see why we had to hear about his porn collection: he could have just said he couldn't unhide a previously hidden folder, so I commented on that.

          Umm actually you couldn't be anymore wrong. The only reason he can't see his folder is because the viewing options arn't in place? You shouldn't just go and say he might have some sort of virus. Quite and unnesseary comment?

          Don't click on Pink Floyd's scam link. Don't follow his pretend "advice", which is just an excuse to spread his scam message.

            well dude I had the same problem (I couldn't see my hidden file when I active in folder option it return to "Do not show hidden file" automaticly) so by Regedit you should do like this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

            Correct the value CheckedValue in the right window to 1.
            that should solve your problem........
            enjoy watching porn ;D ;D
