Hidden files - The Agenda

I figured out something interesting, thought I should share it to the e-world. Most of us basically termed as newbies are unaware of computer threats around. Making slightest of mistake can lead gigs of data to go blank and corrupt. For example the widespread virus around these days is really a blot. If you have some hidden files that you would like to un-hide, the virus wont let you do so. It mugs up in the registry and terminates systems ability to un-hide system or any other ordinary file.

Here's the trick, Just copy the following text in Notepad. Now save it as "something.reg" and double click it. The system will ask you whether to add the file to registry or not. Click yes

This will enable you to un-hide files easily. What the command basically does it erases the blotted commands of the virus that will restore the same registry again.

In case you don't know how to un-hide files, Just go to windows explorer.
Go to tools-->Folder Options--> Check on the radio button namely "Show hidden files and folders".
