change hidden folder is not viewd. I check again in Tools-Folder Options. It

always set into "Do not show hidden files and folder".The changes doesnt

work. It may be some virus attack.

DO NOT attach live malware to your post unless specifically asked to by a helper. I have deleted the file.

Besides... that wasn't what I asked you to do. Please follow my instructions.
