Question: I don’t know where my computer has been tampered with so that it cannot display hidden folders. I have no way to set it in the “View” of the folder options. Is there any solution? I have a lot of folders that were hidden before and now I want to retrieve them. What should I do?
Answer: You need to ask the registry to help you solve this problem. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFolderSuperHidden and change the key value of Checkedvalue to "0" (hexadecimal value); change DefaultValue Change the key value of UncheckedValue to "0" (hex value); change the key value of UncheckedValue to "1" (hex value).
