When you cannot unhide the hidden folders..!

Sometimes due to some virus or some other problem you may not be able to unhide the hidden folders from the folder options, so here's what you can do:
Here are the steps to remove that problem and make the hidden files appear as before:-
1) Go to Start --> Run, then type Regedit
2) Navigate to the registry folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL

3)Find a key called CheckedValue.
4) Double Click CheckedValue key and modify it to 1.

This is to show all the hidden files.Now you should be able to view all the hidden files, and also to alter its status from folder options.
