@Kundan

It seems that your computer is infected by amvo.exe virus, you can see this post for removal details.Also update your anti-virus definitions and run a full system scan, it may fix up the problem.

hii abhi,
even i am facing a similar pblm like i canot view hidden files and folders…
if i select the option to view hidden files and folders and close the option it automatically returns back to show hidden files n folders….i tried modifying the value to “1″ on registry settings….but it cannot help me.

if i type the folder name on explorer i can view the folder..i mean if “new folder” is a hidden file on “d” drive…i can open it by typing d:\new folder on explorer bar….
wat can be done??

sorry…it automatically returns back to do not show hidden files n folders…

@larith and @kundan — please refer to the updated procedure above. if still the problem persist your system may be infected by a virus..

so you need to update your anti-virus and run a complete scan

I have removed a virus from my computer, and it seems that the script of the virus has infected my WINDOWS files.

Could someone help me with this virus on how to remove it? i have an anti-virus “kaspersky” but it doesn’t detect the virus. it cannot display all the hidden files even if I’ve set the folder options mode to “Show all hidden filse and folders”. it will reset back to “Do not show all hidden filse and folders”

thanks a lot ma homie…

Thanks for the solution…
Fixed at my end !!

hi…
what exactly needed is a good antivirus which wil be able to detect and resolve the problem of “show hidden files”..so could you please suggest a good one..!! plzz

hi

i had tried all the options what you had suggested in the above passages, then also i am not able to view my hidden files. please can you help me out

OMG! Thank you so much guys! Followed the first suggestion and it worked… (i was sweating bullets going into the registry though, hate that place… XD).

I think i aquired a virus on my system, and i cleaned it all off…. Wat the virus seemed to do was to create an “autorun.inf” file on all my drives, and once i accessed them it would run. After scanning my pc with AVG (…. yes i use AVG…dont laugh >.<..) it got rid off the viruses… but i still couldnt access me hard drives normally.
I went in to safe mode, use cmd prompt and i veiwed the hidden “autorun.inf” on each drive and forced deleted them (type “help” and u’ll see how)… and after restarting i could access my drive normally…. now for my flash drive XP

hi..
i have ther same hidden files problem but whats worse is that i can’t run REGEDIT from RUN as the message “your access has been restricted by the administrator” comes.
i tried from system 32 as wwell but with same results. i am the administrator for my computer with all rights and privilages. still i cant do anything… please help me out

I removed a trojan virus from my computer by kaspersky recently. After that many of my folders have become hidden. When I check show hidden Files and Folders and also I check show protected operating system files I become able to see all hidden folders!!!! How to fix this?

@ ez

If you don’t wish to see the operating system files like System Volume Information , Recycled, etc.. then simply check the option to “Hide protected operating system files”.

Many thanqs to trouble fixers

the solution is worked for Show all files option

-Arun

thanks! you saved me from re-installation of windows.

hi it worked for me. Below r d steps I followed.
boot windows on “safemode”.
Go to CMD prompt n del autorun, amvo*.dll n d.com from all drives.n reboot in normal mode
go to MSCONFIG, then to startup n uncheck amvo.exe
now go to REGEDIT, then hkey local m/c - s/w - microsoft - windows - explorer - advanced - folder- showall.
Now delete d “CheckedValue” n recreate it dword type with value as 1.
that’s it

Hi buddy,

Sometimes back I have got a strange problem in my networked computers. Of course, there are all sorts of virus in my computers ranging from New Folder.exe to Amvo.Exe and so on. But this time unusual one is happening with my computer.

Whenever I create Folders by using File *** New *** Folder command. The folder property automatically changes to Application having .exe extension, whenever I hover the mouse over it.

All my photos and documents which are under it becomes unusable since I cannot see the particular folder in Adobe photoshop and others. It has got an icon exactly like the normal folder. Incase of New folder.exe, I know the icons are similar but still we can see the difference.

I kill the process named services.exe running under C:\documents & settings……. and the problem seems to go away.

Any further solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks….

fix to amvo.exe and disabled taskmanager
amvo.exe
————

the problem is due to a worm .
open a new text document and paste the following
then rename the file as file.bat (the extension should be .bat)(make sure that tool>folder options>view>hide extentions for known file types is unchecked)
then execute that file after that
in no time restart your computer
