Cannot view hidden files and folders, or edit default domain polic

I am having a lot of problems with my W2K server. I cannot edit my default
domain policy, local security policy, or my group policies at all. I do not
have permission to do so, even though I am logged on as the network
administrator. More to the point, when I select view hidden files and folders
through folder options, it makes the screen blink and then changes nothing in
the folder view. I believe this is down to my default domain security policy
which someone has changed in my absence. Can the default domain policy or the
show hidden files and folders option be edited in the registry? If so where
can I find them? All help much appreciated!

This article may help.
