    Folder Hide/ show options
    « on: June 26, 2009, 10:38:57 AM »

    Hi everybody,

    I have Windows XP SP2 as operating system on my PC. Earlier I used to go to Folder Options and change it to 'Show hidden files'.

    But recently, I am unable to do so. Despite several times my clicking the option "Show hidden files" and clicking 'apply' and then viewing, I am always shown "there are hidden files, please use windows folder options to show hidden files".

    What could be wrong ?

      Try restore defaults in Folder Options.

      It's often a sign of some infection.
