To show/hide hidden files/folders in windows OSes like XP, Vista or Seven, we have to...
- go to explorer
- select tools menu
- folder option
- view tab
- select radio button to show/hide hidden files/filers
Is there any dos command/batch script to do this? I just want to make it done using single click(whether it is .bat file or anything).
I searched and found an answer for the files affected by viruses - Windows batch script to unhide files hidden by virus - but it is specific for a single drive user has entered- and that too, for affected by virus.
I also found the change needed in registry for this.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Hidden"=dword:00000001
"HideFileExt"=dword:00000000
I am new to registry editing thing. So I don't know how to do this stuff.
So, how can I make it happen - at a single click - I can enable/disable viewing hidden files and folders?
you might try this:
You must update the explorer by yourself by pressing F5. To do this by script you need vbscript.
