How to recover my hidden folder? Solved/Closed

Question

Hello, 

I have installed a free hide folder software to hide a file. Due to some virus problem, I had to format my C drive, but my folder was in D drive. Obviously, after formatting, the free hide folder software disappeared and I had forgotten to unhide the folder before formatting. 

Now I need the folder but cant get it. 

Please help me to find the folder.

System Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

Hi,

 Open up the Control Panel.
 Click on Folder Options.
 Select the view tab.
 Under Advanced Settings you should see Show Hidden Files and Folders.
 Select it, hit Apply and you should be good to go.
 You may also need to uncheck Hide protected operating system files.
 Then you may proceed for a search.

Click Start/Run,type regedit then press Ok
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advan ced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

Now right click on,and delete the value "CheckedValue" in the right hand window.

Now create a new "DWORD Value" called exactly CheckedValue in the right hand window.
Double click on CheckedValue.
In the opening 'Edit DWORD Value' box,set the 'Value data:' to 1

Press Ok,exit regedit,restart your pc.
