How To Disable "show Hidden Files And Folders" In Folder Option

I agree with jlhaslip .. But then, What if someone screws it up ?

I think magiccode9 has the better option. Windows registry is too risky to play with.

How To Disable "show Hidden Files And Folders" In Folder Option

 Hi
When I am checking the option for "show hiden files", it is automatically going unchecking it and checking for "Do not show hidden files" .
What might be the reason and how can it be rectified ?

Why do you have to even do the registry part? Can't you just simply do the folder part?

If your not an advanced windows user i suggest you stay away from windows registry! Because if you edit a file without mistake you can corrupt your system meaning you will have to install windows over again.

    program using it was probably Windows Explorer. Rather than trying to delete it in ....
