Remove Virus in XP that Disables “Show Hidden Files”
post info

There is a certain virus that prevents XP users from viewing the hidden files.

The virus meddles with the ’Show hidden files and folders’ option in the Folder Options and the option keeps bouncing back to ‘Do not show hidden files and folders’, despite repeated trials.

Here is how you can set this problem right:

Navigate to the windows registry:
Go to Start menu
Click Run
Type regedit in the text box and then click Enter.

When the Registry Editor opens, perform the following steps:

Go to the following registry key:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and then open Software.Under this navigate to: Microsoft -> Windows -> Current Version -> Explorer Then go to Advanced -> Folder -> Hidden -> SHOWALL
Delete the value CheckedValue.
(Its type should be REG_SZ and data should be 2 or 0.)

Create a new DWORD value called CheckedValue (same as above, except that the type is REG_DWORD).

Modify the value data to 1 (0×00000001).This should enable you to select the ‘Show hidden files and folders’ option without much problem.Do drop in comments if there are further queries and we shall try to find answers.

UPDATE:
In the right pane the CheckedValue should be 0×00000001(1) and
DefaultValue should be 0×00000002(2).

Christmas Tree 2

Last year, mag-isa akong nagtayo ng christmas tree. Ang parents ko hindi naman talaga tumutulong kahit dati pa. Nagtatampo pa nga e. Buti pa nga daw ang christmas tree nabibigyan namin ng burloloy. Hala! Pagselosan daw ba ang christmas tree. Kamusta naman yun?

Anyway, ang ate ko busy sa pag-aasikaso ng kasal nya. Weekend madalas wala sya sa bahay. Si Kuya hindi ko matandaan kung nasan sya. Andun din yata, tumulong din pero saglit lang. Inilabas nya lang yung christmas tree namin. Nakakalungkot kaya yun! Isipin mo isa ka lang nagtatayo at nagdedesign na usually naman tatlo kayo...

Aww.. Emo.. Kaya nung kasal ni ate (almost 2 months after magtayo ng christmas tree) eto yung naging itsura ko sa kasal ni ate:

Nung nag-speech kc ako, bigla ko lang naalala yun na malungkot na magtayo ng christmas tree mag-isa. Gosh! Di ko napigilan. Magjojoke lang talaga ko na iiyak. Eh natuluyan. Naiyak ako?! Kamusta naman. Aww...

Christmas Tree

Five or six years ago, si kuya kaka-graduate lang ng college at nakahanap na rin kagad ng work. Si ate, nasa college pa sa UP at working student sa Shakey's Katipunan. Ako, second year sa same school at nagpa part-time sa isang maliit na job company as telemarketer.

That time, maliit lang christmas tree namin, two feet lang or wala pa yata sa two. Nagplano si kuya na bumili christmas tree since mga baby pa kami yung gamit naming yun. Ambag ambag daw. Payag naman kami. Hindi ko na matandaan magkano shinare ko.

Syempre pagkauwi sa bahay, excited kami sa pagtatayo. Bago e! Tsaka syempre malaki yung christmas tree. Nabuhayan ang buong bahay.

Ang nakakatuwa lang, bumibili kami ng gifts para sa mga members ng family na hindi naman namin usually ginagawa dati. Well, siguro it's the feeling na parang ang panget ng christmas tree ng walang gifts sa ilalim. Kaya yun, simula nun, may exchange gifts na kami every christmas.

Yehey! Exchange gift na naman..

Sino mas ma-pride?

dous: sinong mas mapride satin?
ako: ikaw! bakit?!

after few seconds.

us: hahahahaha!
