Re: Win Xp Explorer settings problem...????

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I opened Registry to the point u pointed and changed values according to
your advice but It did not work. I know DOS and am easy with tweaking
Registry safely but Windows does not seem to obey its own commands or
settings in its Registry.

Any other advice plz.

I tried but Sorry but it did not work.

Can you elaborate on that?

Tried what and what didn't work?

Open The Registry editor...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK |

Navigate to >>
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

What are the settings (the Value data) for Hidden and ShowSuperHidden?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

0 = Hide Files
1 = Show Files

Hidden Operating System Files

(Recommended)" option so that I be able to view hidden and system files
in
my system but after doing that It does not work I mean Windows does not
obey or follow its options and does not let me view hidden or system
files on the hard drive. I am using P4 2.4ghz,256 mb with win xp pro on
