November 14, 200718 yr i recently face a problem with Folder Option. there's no button "hide protected system files". no way for me to see system files....anyone help me?
November 14, 200718 yr See if this allows you to see system files, I have no idea why the option is missing.Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]"SuperHidden"=dword:00000001
November 14, 200718 yr Author thank you for your advice. it works. Iwas infected with a virus that put file "addslta.exe" to my folder: "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\" and it changed key: HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden\Type = "checkbox2" (where the correct value should be "checkbox") so I can't see the check box! (as the thumbnail below)thank you once again! Edited November 14, 200718 yr by rockervn

November 14, 200718 yr Author If you knew this, why didn't you simply change the key back to "checkbox"? I did as swanpy suggested and I could see my protected system files but I still couldn't see the check box.as I was editing the registry so I looked at the surrounding keys near the one swanpy mentioned and I found that key (but in HKLM instead of HKCU). I posted this here for somebody who will have the same problem with me can find way out!thanks for your comment!
