McAfee Registry Madness

Just had to make a quick note about this.

So I could not seem to get Explorer to show hidden files. Eventually I found out it was an issue writing to the following registry tree:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

Checked numerous online posts about registry permissions. Eventually I found out the McAfee was blocking me writing to this specific part of the registry. I have now decided to can McAfee and go back to MS Security Essentials. What an absolute waste of time just to fix something so simple.
