A while ago I found out that the ‘Show Hidden Files and Folders’ option was not working properly on my computer. I did some Googling and found out that is caused by a spyware/adware/malware (whatever) that messes up the Windows Registry from updating properly, thus disabling the option to ‘Show Hidden Files and Folders’. The check box (radio button) works, but as soon as you close the Folder Options Window, the option is disabled again. Anyway, here are some ways to re-enable the option:

My Scenario: Need to format and install XP Pro on 33 Dell Dimension PC’s, same model and components. Need to fix the “same computer name” problem because the computers will be joining the network.
Non-Explained solution:
Install XP on one computer, download all updates, drivers, install software needed in all computers, set up Sysprep, shut down, boot up Ghost and create image, Run GhostCast server, load up image, Boot Hirens Cd (or ghost network floppy) on the computers and Multicast the Image to All of the computers. Simple Huh?

Here is a trick that is used to delete files or folders that display this error when deleting:

Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete [file]: Acess is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.

Annoying huh, here it is:

1. Open a command window. You can do this by going to Start -> Run and typing cmd. If you are using Vista, go to Start, then in the search field type cmd or command.
2. Now that you have the command window open, you’ll have to set a schedule. To do this, type:
   

   at [time] /interactive cmd

   and press enter. It should say Added a new job with job ID = 1. Where it says [time], you type in the current time in your computer plus one minute, be sure to set it in military time! (For example; Its 09:07 AM, Then it would be: at 09:08 /interactive cmd ) -I hope you understand military timing.

3. Now, you have to wait one minute or a few seconds until a new command window appears. When the new command window appears, open up task manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), and end the process explorer.exe. (Go to the Processes tab. Select explorer.exe from the list then click on End Task) Now your explorer window should dissapear, leaving opened the newly opened command window.
4. Now, on the window, type in explorer.exe, and your explorer windows should reapear with SYSTEM privileges; wait a few seconds while the SYSTEM user account is set up. Now you should be able to delete that annoying file of yours.

To get back into your own username, just login again.

Don’t understand? Please comment.

Maybe you have heard about this little trick many times, but here it is again. This will enable you to use your Zune as a portable drive, actually it just shows your Zune in the Windows Explorer window and enables dragging and dropping and stuff, anyway here it is.
