It is because of a virus named USBWORM ( orkut ,youtube blocking virus ) do the following step to get the result.
1. Go to your Start menu, click on Run and open up your Registry Editor by typing "regedit" without the quotes and pressing OK.
2. Once there go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folde r\Hidden\SHOWALL
3. Delete the value CheckedValue. (Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2.)
4. Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD) by right clicking on the right pane->New->DWORD Value. Modify the value data to 1 (0x00000001).

hi, i googled and found this page. My prob continues as following.
it easily deletes related registry. when i try to rename new one to checkedvalue, it says already there is one.
thnx
thanks bro.. :)
Thnx mate.. it worked
worked well, thnx.
but there was a little difference, the "checkedvalue" wasn't a REG_SZ, it was a REG_DWORD & value set to "zero", i just changed the value to "1".
its working.:)
thnx...cheers:)
Hi Guys,
At times, we get frustrated when we cannot view the Hidden Files and Folders. Editing Registry should be the last option and it should be mentioned properly.
We guys, I had researched on this and incase you want to view your Hidden Files and Folder, please go to Kelly's Korner for Windows XP (Search in google and will get the link).. Check for Enable\Disable Hidden Files and Folder; right click on it and select the option Copy Shortcut and paste the link in the browser, you will get a VBscript, ust Run it and it will clsoe all the browsers, and then access the folders, you will be able to see all your Hidden files and Folder...Cheers!!
