You can try using Toggle Show Hidden Files (free open-source):

https://sourceforge.net/projects/showhiddenfiles/

It doesn’t require installation and does not run in background. You configure it and it creates the proper shortcuts.
It can also hide system files.

Great tip. I have been looking for something like this. The only problem is that I use xplorer2 instead of Windows Explorer. Can the script be rewritten to be generally applicable to all file managers?

Is there an extremely simple way to organize my folders & files? Like maybe put them all on one page & list them alpabetically?

Any heip would surely be appreciated.
My OS: Windows Home Premium SP1×64

Thank you,

How’d you create this executable?

I want to do the same for file extensions…to show and hide them, but I don’t know where to begin.

Also, I’d like to change the hotkey for hidden files but still be able to use the exe and not have to bother with a vbs all the time.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Never mind. I copied the shortcut to the startup folder and it automatically boots along with the windows boot.

Thanks The Geek. This is cool stuff and very cool site.

@ The Geek

Is there anyway this can automatically start up with the windows boot ? Now, I have to enable it everytime I boot from the task bar where I have put it.

This works great for some hidden files, but I still can’t show/toggle hidden system files using it. Can the program be altered to do that?
