Which hidden files are you looking to see?
There is also a box for "Hide protected operating system files" that can be unchecked to see system files. (I recommend keeping them hidden during normal use but you can temporarily unhide them to see if the files you are looking for are system files.))

Make sure you hit Apply at the bottom of the window.

It may be due to having a virus that is constantly reseting it to help hide the virus. For that, you could use a program like sysinternals regmon or regfromapp. That will allow you to view what program is setting the value back.
