Can't find hidden files

[young_joz]

I hide some files in my comp. (D and E Drives) but after some days when i tried to open them by using "Folder Option". It doesn't show them! When i do the "Show hidden files and folders" under Folder option. It automatically on "Do not show...", it still there no matter how many times i undo them (Click "show hidden.."). I update my anti-(Virus, spyware) and scan... but nothing found. Even after new installation (XP-SP2), the problem still persists. When i consult some of my friends, they told me that it has be solve through Windows registry. Please Help.
P.S. The hidden files are shown when search.
