Strange behavior with "Hidden" registry Key

[Thauzar]

Hi, I am using Windows XP SP2 fr and I noticed a strange behavior from the "hidden" key during unattended installation. The hidden files are set to "show" (00000001) by my registry tweaks but as soon as Folder Option is opened, it resets the value to "hide" (00000000) automatically because the little dot is still beside "hide" by default.

Now, anyone experienced this? And how can I get around that? Thanks

Ok since nobody answers, someone can at least tell me which of these key I need to copy to get the WindowsUpdate link in the top left of the start menu with IE and outlook?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000001

On #2

I think you need both these key's

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StartPage]
"FavoritesResolve"
"Favorites"

For #1 yes it is that exact key. I tried it with a 1 and a 2 at the end but in both cases it gets back to 0 as soon as I open Folder Options

and for #2, thanks, I'll try it and post here if it works, just give me a day or 2 since im starting back from scratch to test nLite98.8

And thanks for your reply

On #1 it should not be a 2

That's a 1 or 0

1 to show hidden files and folders and 0 to not.

That's strange it's changing, haven't looked at that in SP2 real close just yet but will next time I Unattend
