I go to Explorer and choose to hide folders and then click on apply. then close explorer.
If I then open Explorer IMMEDIATELY I find that Show folders is checked. Something is obviously doing this programatically but what?
Thanks
HafrenWhat specific location/folders are these? Make sure to hit the Apply below after checking hidden option.the folders are the ONES that Microsoft recommend KEEPING hidden. The ones that contain important Window's files. As I said earlier, I do click on apply to make these folders hidden but something is changing the setting back to Show all folders.Open Windows Explorer(My Computer) and click on Tools, Folder options... and go to View tab. Under Advanced Settings, look for Hidden Files and Folders. Put a dot mark on Don't show hidden files, folders or drives. Hit Apply. Thanks Jason
But what you are suggesting is what I've already been doing and it just doesn't work.
What I was hoping for from this forum was to find someone who had experienced this problem and found a solution to it.
My virus checker and MALWARE and trojan checkers all REPORT no problems.
