Just recently cleaned out 2 instances of a Trojan Horse Generic 10JNM
from my system and developed problems with no longer being able to view
hidden files. Acer some Goggling for the problem, I came upon the
registry key fix, "Navigate to, and select, this registry key in the
left pane:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWAL".
After applying the fix I am now able to view hidden files, but now
another problem has surfaced. The toggle to SHOW and NOT TO SHOW now
works in reverse. To view hidden files I now have to check the box Not
to Show and to Hide the files, I now have to check the Show Hidden
Files. Can anyone shed some light on this weird change and help to
correct it if at all possible.

I have run AVG and Spybot a few times and the results come negative, so
I'm truly at a lost now.

Disregard this post. Problem has been solved. After a System Restore
did not do the trick is the reason I posted this request. After I
posted this, I completely forgot that I had recently installed the
program Erunt. Using a backup from Erunt corrected the problem.
