Missing Hidden Files...AGAIN!!!

Hey all,

Recently my "folder options" was missing from the tools list. I just went to the registry and fixed it, HOWEVER when i go to the "view" tab, I've got a really short list of checkboxes; there is NO option to hide and show hidden files!

Plz help me w/ this, ive got important stuff hidden and i cant access it!

Thx

Try to erase all your policy settings. On a home machine there should not be any. This batch file will help you do that: http://www.myfixes.com/batch/0b5ed63d7897a07af3d769d550a8b003/clearPolicy.bat
