Open Notepad .. Copy and paste the Following Code into it and Save as "Find.bat" . Double Click on it to Run it .. A notepad will pop-up copy and paste everything here

Code:
regedit /a /e %systemdrive%\regkey.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\SuperHidden"
notepad %systemdrive%\regkey.txt
del /q %systemdrive%\regkey.txt

Hmm ... It Might be a Policy Setting

Start > Run > regedit > Navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explor er

on the Right Pane Delete "DontShowSuperHidden"

Do the Same for

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explo rer

Thanks for helping me, devil_himself.

for your 1st post, the notepad contains like this...
Quote:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advan ced\Folder\SuperHidden]
"Type"="checkbox"
"Text"="@shell32.dll,-30508"
"WarningIfNotDefault"="@shell32.dll,-28964"
"HKeyRoot"=dword:80000001
"RegPath"="Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Advanced "
"ValueName"="ShowSuperHidden"
"UncheckedValue"=dword:00000001
"DefaultValue"=dword:00000000
"HelpID"="shell.hlp#51103"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advan ced\Folder\SuperHidden\Policy]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advan ced\Folder\SuperHidden\Policy\DontShowSuperHidden]
@=""
and for your 2nd post,
there is no dontshowsuperhidden value in the right pane, whether it's in HKCU or HKLM.
