My Registery named Hidden is not REG_DWORD, but it is REG_SZ.
Its DATA was 0, I changed it to 1, still no change in the hidden files.
I'm using XP Media Center edition...

OK. Delete the "Hidden" REG_SZ value again and create a new "Hidden" REG_DWORD value

And again went to folder options... Show hidden files... Still nothing...
Create a new text file > Apply hidden appributes... it's gone forever...
And upon opening Registry again, that entry "Hidden" is again there...

Deleted that Registry... Nothing happened with the hidden files.
Changed the Folder options to Show hidden files, but still no use.
And that "Hidden" REG_SZ registry entry is again created in the Registry...
