Trouble:
Sometimes a virus or some malicious script makes the hidden files and folders not visible even when it is explicitly enabled.
In this case even if the user enables the Show hidden files and folders in
Tools > Folder options > View menu, Hidden files and folder does not become visible.
Lets see how to fix it.
Fix:
First and foremost is the point that the user has enabled the Show hidden files and folder
1. Go to Tools > Folder options. This will show a folder options menu.
2. Go to View tab and select the option “Show hidden files and folder”
The hidden files and folders are displayed by this method normally. But in case some virus or script is preventing the hidden files and folders from being visible, follow the below steps:
1. Go to your Start > Run, type regedit and press enter. This will open registry editor.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folde r\Hidden\SHOWALL
Updated on 9th FEB 2008:
Note:
DELETE the value CheckedValue in the right window if it already there and type is REG_SZ
Now create a new DWORD value again with the same name CheckedValue.
3. Double click the value called CheckedValue, and modify its data value (DWORD Value) to 1 (0×00000001) . Close registry editor after this.
Updated on 9th FEB 2008:
If still folder options is reverted back to don’t show hidden files and folders then it could be due to some virus still in action.
Navigate to the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden
NOHIDDEN
In the NOHIDDEN folder, select CheckedValue and set the value to 1
4. Go to Tools > Folder options. This will show a folder options menu.
5. Go to View tab and select the option “Show hidden files and folder”
The above fix to the trouble came from one of our readers Chris under a virus post comment.
Thanks Chris.
Note: If above solution does not work for you, make sure to make your system completely virus free by updating your anti-virus and running a complete scan. You can do a free scan using Kaspersky Virus Removal tool here.

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

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

Did the task of setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\NOHIDDEN CheckedValue set to 1, and I had a very strange reaction: the effects of “Do not show Hidden Files” and “Show Hidden Files” in the Folder Options BECAME REVERSED, so now, selecting “Do not show Hidden Files” WILL SHOW the Hidden Files, and selecting “Show Hidden Files” will hide them. Anyone else experience that?

Method 3: (By Denny)
1- Click Start –> Run –> regsvr32 /i browseui.dll –> enter
A confirmation message will appear like given below
2- Click Start –> Run –> regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
Wait for the confirmation and click OK.
None of the above options worked for me. It occured because of virus/trojan cvasds01.dll. Norton, avast, malwarebytes,superantispyware were unable to solve it. I used “Spyware doctor” and the problem was entirely solved for me.

Have a smile from me!
I had the rotinom virus which I was able to remove using avg and hitman but when removing the virus it seems to have hidden all files on an external hard drive and sd memory card. It seems that I have the problem referred to on this thread and I have tried the fix but it wont work. I have windows 7 so I dont know if there is a different fix. Sometimes the view hidden files and unhiddden files are both checked and sometimes just the unhidden.
Can you help please? I am not a technical buff so am a little confused by some of the more technical terms but I think I have done everything you suggest correctly. I even tried downloading a fix referred to on another thread. Please please help as I have loads of photos I want to recover.
Thank You Chris 🙂
It worked for my problem!! Thank you so much…. 🙂
Hey.. This worked for me as well. Thanks for the solution

then click apply n chk ur files which were hidden by any ANtivirus scan or sumthin else…
Gud luck 🙂
hi
it works, thanks
This solution is very helpful unfortunately I as a user find it hard to express the problem. Thanks.
thank you this was extremely helpful,deuces.
to Yamin:
Perfect simple solution!! – it worked – this is what is needed to do AFTER cleaning up computer with one’s own antivirus program. My computer was clean now but wouldn’t let me see all my folders and programs!!
Yes!!! – This is all you have to do!!
Your fix got my folders back so I could see them!
Just an FYI though, I am thinking maybe virus is not totally wiped out yet if I am having to manually fix this one part….yet 2 antivirus programs on my computer says i am clean…
As people have suggested before… you may need to run virus program several times and restart..
Then go to get your folders back with your step!!
Thanks so much again!!
Yes!!! – This is all you have to do!!
