Read those and follow instructions.

Make a new thread for posting a hijack this log though.

Hello everyone, I suggest just going to the start menu and choosing the search option. Enter the name of the folder or file you are looking for and just enter it. The hidden file or folder should show up. Then you can just right click it and enter the properties and unmark the hidden box. If you do not remember the name of the file or folder, then just search all folders or all files of the type you are looking for. Of course, if you dont remember the name of the file or folder, it may take a while. It still works though. This was my way out because I don't understand a word of computer language, lol.

I've done a little digging in the group policy editor and found the setting for folder
options. I don't have much hope that this will work since this just sets the same value in the registry as was mentioned before. Might be worth a look though.

Go to Start > Run, Enter gpedit.msc

Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer

On the right, 3rd setting down should be "Removes the Folder Options menu item from the Tools menu".

This should be "Not Configured". If it is enabled, double click on the setting, choose "Not Configured", then click ok.


the setting is already in "not configured"..
