Hi guys, im new here.

I've caught and deleted the Sempalong virus on my friends computer. I've disabled it from starting etc. Restore the Folder Options, Registry Editor etc but now when i go to Tools>Folder Options>Hidden files and folders, Insted of getting the enable/disable clicky thing i only get 2 arrows (1 for each option).

Here's a pic to show you what i mean.

edit: can't post pics, i hope that by the description you understand what i mean.

Advice please.

Thanks
 
1. Click Start -> Run
2. Type regedit and click Ok.
3. Find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL
4. Look at the “CheckedValue” key… This should be a DWORD key. If it isn’t, delete the key.
5. Create a new key called “CheckedValue” as a DWORD (hexadecimal) with a value of 1.
6. The “Show hidden files & folders” check box should now work normally
7. Also change in NOHIDDEN change value to 1
8. In SHOWALL change value to 0
9. Re-check the folder options
10. now change the values to the same
NOHIDDEN to 2
SHOWALL to 1

Strange, but works.
