Most of us have this problem Sometimes when virus attack our computer it disable the "Show hidden files and folders" option than even if we select the option Show hidden files and folders from the folder option window, the changes just disappear upon closing the dialog. It is because virus has attacked your registry file.
So, here is the solution to the problem:
Go to Run than type regedit and click Ok.
Find the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
Look at the "CheckedValue" key.
This should be a DWORD key.
Check its value if it is not 1 than make it 1.
If "CheckedValue" key is not there, create a new key called "CheckedValue" as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.
Open My Computer on the toolbar. Go to Tools > Folder Option and click on the View tab. Now, the "Show hidden files & folders" should work properly.
