Try the fix at Kelly's Korner.
Enable/Disable Show Hidden Files/Folders - #155 on the left. Right click on it and save the .vbs file to your desktop. Then, double click on the file icon (on your desktop) to run the script. You may need to reboot your computer for the changes to take affect. With any fix like this you should create a new restore point and backup the registry first. For backing up the registry I like to use ERUNT. -------------------- Stupidity has a knack of getting its way.
