I was going through the registry tweak file and found the following entries: ;Show hidden files/objects [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000001 ;Show Hidden Files and Folders (1= Do not Show) [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "Hidden"=dword:00000002 Arent these contradictory? Which is it?
