Whenever I try to change the HIDE FOLDER option from FOLDER OPTION, it doesn't work. I click on SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS and then click OK and nothing happens. When I go back to FOLDER OPTIONS, DO NOT SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS is again selected. Any help.

Try these three methods:

ALreadz did. All of them failed.

Well, then some sort of malware is at work on your system.

There is a reg file you can merge to fix the settings:

But the malware is going to have to be located and killed or this is going to go on endlessly.

The "If the quick fixes don't work" section of this page has some more surgical suggestions:
