Vista - lost show folders option

Hi, I just recently lost my "show hidden files and folders"option in file
view option.Usually I should have 2 option in hidden files, one show hidden
files and one hide hidden files and folders. And now I have only one option
which already selected "Hide hidden files" so I don't have an access to my
hidden folders now, please help

Please what do you think, I used first the option in the tuturial but wasn't work and then used 2.option and its work .

Hi Waleedtawfiq, and welcome to Vista Forums.

That's strange. Can you post a screenshot of it to help determine what might be the problem?

I must admit that I have never seen anything like that before. You might try running a sfc /scannow command to see if that can find and fix any bad system files that may be the cause.
