How to view your hidden files from the Registry?

I was on a break in Blogging now a days as I had to manage my other sites,But I came to comment in another blog which  made me irresistible to blog again.Considering the shortage of Technical stuffs in this blog ,This post is about hidden files in Windows.

Sometimes you might not be able to change the option to Show the hidden files in your windows(May be of virus or any other) so that hidden files remain hidden itself.Here is a fix for this problem in which you need to get in to the registry and change the values.

Just run the Registry Editor by typing  “regedit”  from Start>>Run

In the registry editor follow this path

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In the right hand side change the value of “hidden” to 1 and you are done! Changing it to zero will hide it again.
