I don't suggest viewing these hidden files and folders, but anyway. Use this at your own risk. Do this, go to the Local Drive "C". At the top go to Tools>Folder Options>Click the View Tab>Under Hidden Files and Folders, click the bullet (circle/dot): Show Hidden Files and Folders. The reason I say use this at your own risk, is because you can easily accidentally delete/remove or modify an important file. Anyway I hope this is what you were looking for.

I know what you are saying.I know where to go to uncheck the radiobutton to make the hiddenfiles visible.What i am saying is there is no folderoption in tools menu.I want to see the folder option to be visible again.I cant see it even if i am in administratiors account.I think there is some registry key missing.Any body here know how to get it back.

plz do double check on ur computer if there is any existance of virus..Because there is a probability that your computer have been infected by trojan type virus..still able to open regedit?

[hafizik]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
This is the key root on registry that trojan usually most likely to add his value.see if there is any key name 'No Folder Option' and change its value to 0,0 means no and 1 means yes.

Got the solution for it its
Click Start, choose Run and execute regedit.

Navigate to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Look for a value called NoFolderOptions on the right panel

Right click on the NoFolderOptions value and choose delete

Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

Right click on NoFolderOptions on the right pane and choose Delete
