Problem to show HIDDEN files in WINDOWS

When we are trying to show hidden files option through Folder Options, there is problem on displaying the hidden files.
SO, what should we do ?
  • Search with uncle GOOOOOOGLE, as a result I cannot find the solution. Maybe, those keywords I used were not precise.
  • Somehow, I tried to make some changes on the registry. How did I do that?
    • START | RUN | type REGEDIT
    • Browse to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden
    • There will be 2 Keys: NoHidden and ShowAll, Each key contains 2 particular values which are CheckedValue and DefaultValue
      • The Value for 1 should untick the selection inside the folder options and the value 2 will tick for the selection.
      • Try to match the current selected options within your folder options.
      • Modify the registry by referring to that selected options. Now, everything will back to normal.
Fiuhhh....Finally....!!
