Rectify Hidden Files and Folders Problem (Step by Step)

1. Click “Start” -> “Run…” (or press Windows key + R)

2. Type “regedit” and click “Ok”.

3. Find the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\
Windows\
CurrentVersion\
Explorer\
Advanced\
Folder\
Hidden\
SHOWALL\

4. Look at the “CheckedValue” key… This should be a DWORD key. If it isn’t, delete the key.

5. Create a new key called “CheckedValue” as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.

6. The “Show hidden files & folders” check box should now work normally. Enjoy!
