Welcome to WebmasterWorld Bloogy. Do you have Administrator privileges on this account? Is it possible your system administrator locked this down? It seems that you're taking the right steps: To display hidden files and folders [microsoft.com]

I'm very sure I have administrator privelages on the computer so I don't think that's the problem

I think I'd be running every free rootkit scanner I could find. Search "rootkitrevealer", "Sophos anti-rootkit", and "AVG anti-rootkit" free for some reputable ones to start with. Either there's something wrong with your Windows install or registry, or something is actively trying to hide from you. Jim

This sounds like malware (virus/spyware) however, a registry fault might have the same effect (by preventing the setting being saved). It's also worth noting that some files such as desktop.ini files (commonly found in special folders) remain hidden irrespective of settings. Kaled.

There is also a setting for something like "Show system files".. Some files won't show until you tweak that
