I had this problem and it was a VIRUS !
So, you have to download updates and scan you PC.

hello

check out this....it may solve your problem...even i followed the same steps...

goto run n type regedit and follow these steps...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

DELETE the value CheckedValue in the right window. (Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2.)

Now create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD). Modify the value data to 1 (0x00000001).

This should let you change the "Hidden Files and Folders" option.

This registry hacking is unnecessary. Just open windows explored, click on tools, folder option tabs, and select Show hidden files and folders. Done.
