i got a monstrous problem concerning my hidden files, I can't see them anymore and when I enter in tools, folder options so as to click and see my hidden folders...it returns back to "do not show" any clue????
Ii performed the following Steps but the modify key value reverts back to 0.
Go to Start --> Run, then type Regedit
2. Navigate to the registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHO WALL
3. Find a key called CheckedValue.
4. Double Click CheckedValue key and modify it to 1. This is to show all the hidden files.)
I have the same problem but I managed to get rid of it after I removed some spyware using CounterSpy V2. Then I used the regedit to changed back the value back on. Go to https://www.precisesecurity.com/antivirus/ for a clearer explanation how to change the registry. It works for me.
You must remove the malware first. CounterSpy V2 (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Home-Home-Office/Anti-Spyware/ is free for two weeks but it is great because it detects spyware others like Search and Destroy can't. I don't think virus can do this kind of dirty tricks. It some kinds of trojan horses that anti-virus program cannot detect and remove.
Good Luck.
The issue is caused by a virus
I have been seeing a mass amount of cpu @ my shopr with this issue
Its a hidden file virus under autorun.ini and its a trojan
It puts out all sorts of bad files like 0wk2.com, kavo.exe, tavo.exe 1i.com, njc.com
What you need to do is look @ the hidden files from comand prompt by entering the drive you want to scan c:
then type attrib -h this will show you the current hidden files for tha drive copy the file names down (copy paste on notpad) the download tweak ui power tools from microsoft install the stop the auto runs w tweak ui download kill box and enter the hidden files that you found in kill box theis will delet them and stoping the auto runs will stop it from reloading the only ones you dont want to delet or ntdetect.ini, ntuser, bootmgr, pagefile.sys andhiberfile.sys also go to the reg and search and delet tany keys found relating to the viruses I will be posting a better step by step directions later but if your smart enough you should figuer it out

When I changed CheckedValue to 1 from 0 and closed it again when I open then checked value was set to 0
another problem with it is that
when I deleted checkedValue and closed register now again I opened register then there is CheckedValue with Value 0
I have vista OS
I have no hidden files and folders on my computer..But the option "Show hidden files and folders" in folder options is not showing up....I would really like to find out what has caused that option to go away.....
Also, hard drive space on my computer is drying up like hell...i should have 20 gb free space but it shows only 10 gb free space...Are these 2 problems related.
Can you help me with these problems..?
I can't see the file, and I don't know if I can delete it without further problem... and if you answer me, try to be clear, i'm bad with these stuff :P
OMG, it's a virus I remember I got this problem and I couldn't do anything about it because my anti-virus didn't see anything so the best way is to format your pc...
HELLO FRND ITS NOT A ORDINARY VIRUS IT IS A REGISTRY VIRUS OK SO U CAN'T REMOVE HIS VIRUS FROM COPUTER THROUGH SCANNING

My soon to be ex-wife got onto my computer and found the passwords to my different accounts and the websites that I have visited, I always delete all of the browsing history that is in the properties of microsoft explorer, but she knows the tricks of how to look on the hard drive and found all this information that is stored there. How do I find all this information on my hard drive... what kind of files are these and where and how do I find them and how do I open them and do I need to open them up with another program?
Thank You

I have two hidden directories that I can't see anymore. Windows explorer "Tools/view" doesn't show the option to show or hide hidden files. I get a completely different windows. I might have a virus.
I followed your instructions
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHO WALL
I found the directory and subdirectories but there is no "Hidden" subdirectory over there.
Could you please help? Thanks

Just go to regedt32
navigate to HKLM---Software-Microsoft-Windows-current version-explorer-advanced-folder-Hidden-
then click on showall and in the right pane u will see a value called "checkedvalue" set value to 1.
before that make sure that u have updated virus definiton and run a safe mode scan also. other wise it will again hide.

Thank YOU so much! I tried everything until I came accross your advice here! I've seen about 20 different reg editing paths to try but nothing worked except yours! I just hid one of my folders to show a friend how to do it in vista and then I couldn't unhide it because the "show hidden files and folders" radio kept on changing back to "Do not show hidden files and folders" automatically! I felt like such a chop obviously while I was showing him when it didn't want to change back and to top it all off, I had to go and choose an important folder to hide :) but it's all good now!
Once again.. THANK YOU!
navigate to HKLM---Software-Microsoft-Windows-current version-explorer-advanced-folder-Hidden-
then click on showall and in the right pane u will see a value called "checkedvalue" set value to 1.
but when I get out from regedit I'm still can't see my hidden files.. so I enter again to HKLM---Software-Microsoft-Windows-current version-explorer-advanced-folder-Hidden-showall and the value checkedvalue stills in 0 again. I tried to delete that checkedvalue and create a new one whith the value 1 but not works
please help me

hi you just go to dos command mode.
change the drive e.g: d:\enter then give command attrib -h -r autorun.inf
again give command attrib -s autorun.inf then give del autorun.inf do thuis for all the drive not opening then restart the computer ui think it will be solved
Days ago I had formatted my comp when it's infected with kavo thingy shit virus and something else that disable your hide files and doesn't allow you to double click on your local drive. I appreciate if someone can tell me how to get rid of this problem.
Guys I have also got same problem I can't see them anymore and when I enter in tools, folder options so as to click and see my hidden folders...it returns back to "do not show" any clue????..
Also ,u "regedit" command is not working in "RUN".. please give me the possible solution
it may be a due to a virus I have also faced this problem. Due to this I was totally restricted to access to my regedit, taskmgr and all other "exe" files to open from the run command and when I try to do this my system shuts down . It was due to a virus called " Brontox " . Go to google and search an antivirus for the brontox and try that.
