When you do a fresh install of Windows XP, usually when you go into your hard drive, it says something like these files are hidden. If you want to see them, you have to click show hidden. This happens with Windows and the System32 folder. I want it so when I install Windows, it will automatically show these folders. Is there something I can add to the registry that will fix this?

This worked:

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1644491937-2111687655-839522115-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders]
"shell:SystemDriveRootFolder"=dword:00000000
"shell:ProgramFiles"=dword:00000000
"shell:Windows"=dword:00000000
"shell:System"=dword:00000000

For some reason when you install XP in VMware, the S-1-5-21-1644491937-2111687655-839522115-1003 changes. Make sure you have the right value.

use 
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WebView\BarricadedFolders]
"shell:SystemDriveRootFolder"=dword:00000000
"shell:ProgramFiles"=dword:00000000
"shell:Windows"=dword:00000000
"shell:System"=dword:00000000
instead of S- values that change every new installation.
