can not unhide files in XP

[Nilkamal]

I am using XP as OS in my pc,for last two dayes i can't un hide my hidden files from Tool option.Though i am selecting the "show all files " radio button & pressing "ok" to unhide the hidden files,but it is not working.Again i tried the same way TOOL----Folder Options---- and amazingly found that still the "Don't show hidden or system files" radio button is selected but as i have mentioned i hv already changed it just few minutes earlier.plz help me to solve this problem. :cry:

Its an virus problem

Install NOD32 Antivirus (you can download and 15 days demo)
Install it
Update it
Restart your PC in safe mode
Start NOD32
Connect any external HDD'S/Pendrives/Cards
with all drives selected Click "scan and clean"

Plz Check is Registry Value

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

there u have NOHIDDEN,SHOWALL
in NOHIDDEN
check the valued CheckedValue it should be 0
DefaultValue should be 1

if they are 2 change them

in SHOWALL
CheckedValue should be 1

Other wize change them dont let them to be 2 or 3 they should be 0 or 1
