Default RE: folder option

Try Performing the registry edit bellow
Warning: Performing manual changes to the Windows Registry incorrectly can
make Windows inoperable. It is always advised to perform a Registry backup.

Go to Start - Run (type) regedit
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
in your registry....then modify the value for the key by double clicking
"CheckedValue" and entering 1 on the Data value and same with "DefaultValue"
to 2.

Try Kelly's tweak:

Line 155. Enable/Disable Show Hidden Files/Folders

Double click the vbs file. You will be prompted when the script is done.

Default Re: folder option

This solve my problem. I have a question I dont' know if it is a problem when
I use the window defender select scan option I see SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION
and even I use show hidden file and folder it does not appeared. The word or
(folder) RECYCLER is also there I have a feeling that it probobly malware or
spyware because When I using my USB it does not open when I double click it
in MY COMPUTER and same will the local drive. It only open in address bar. I
hope you can answer this. Tnx

Recycle is part of recycle bin, System Volume Information if also a
system folder. Leave both alone, they are not spyware or malware.
