Couldn't view your hidden files? Change to 'Show Hidden Files' setting but not working?

1) go to 'Start'
2) go to 'Run...'
3) type 'regedit' and press enter
4) go to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Adva nced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL'
5) delete the existing 'CheckedValue'
6) create a new one with same name: 'CheckedValue' by right click your mouse, press new, press DWORD and set the value to '1'
7) Then open “My Computer” and go to: Tools> Folder Options> View> and select “Show hidden files and folders
8) You can view your hidden files now.
