hi dude,
there is a virus in ur pc.
when u try to "Show Hidden File", it will not work. Bcoz of Virus, the option will stick to "Don't Show Hidden Files"
Use Any Good Antivirus....u will get rid of it..

try out avast or eset nod32 or eset
these are the best one...antivirus

also try to edit the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
changethe "Checked value" to 1
i think this will be enough.....

Thank you so much Torres, the registry edit fix that you gave worked like a charm. The Hidden Folder view issue has been bugging me for a month now, and with your help i most definitely have it resolved. Kudos.
