I've downloaded and isnstall this files as you said, but after 4 months of use, i've started to getting this error (this command is still working with my files, but this error is poping and its really anoying):
"Windows script host: Script: C:\Windows...; Line: 14; Char: 1; Error: The system cannot find the file specified; Code: 80070002; Source: (null)"
Any idea how to repair this error and prevent it to pop up anythime when i use show/hide button?
P.S. Sorry for my bad English!

ajzaklija hi. The .vbs file may have got corrupted, or deleted. You need to copy it back to where it should be.

Does the .vbs file look exactly like this ?
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Hidden = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden"
SSHidden = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSuperHidden"
Set Command1 = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Check = Command1.RegRead(Hidden)
If Check = 2 Then
Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 1, "REG_DWORD"
Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, 1, "REG_DWORD"
Else
Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 2, "REG_DWORD"
Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, 0, "REG_DWORD"
End If
Command1.SendKeys "{F5}"

Yours is wrong. Copy what is between the lines (in my post above), paste into Notepad,
save as,
Toggle_Show_Hidden_Files_On_Off.vbs
And overwrite the one you have in the Windows folder with it.

Edit. Not wrong as such, but when WMP gets involved, forget it.
