folder option visible but can't enable "show hidden file"
Go to the following registry key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentV

ersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folde r\Hidden\SHOWALL

Delete the value CheckedValue. (Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2.)

Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD). Modify the value data to 1 (0x00000001).

This should let you change the "Hidden Files and Folders" option. HTH!
