Show / Hide file & folder

When I restart my PC the hidden file & folders are show then I tools click folder options on the order & check "do not show hidden file & folder" click ok, and then the shadow folder does not show. I want to display the files when I don't need every time.

Using Explorer (my computer for example), put in place the window exactly as you wish. that is, with the files/folders hidden. Click Tools > Folder Options > view tab check the box to not display these files/folders. Click on the button that says "Apply to all folders" before you apply/OK outside. You will get a prompt indicating that the settings apply to all the files that open in the future. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Hello!!!

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it? I mean how to program a folder so that everything that he would automatically become hidden? I would be very grateful...

    Is it possible to create a folder that can hide files automatically, when they are copied in it?

    Yes. A sort of roundabout.

    For this example, create a folder on your C drive named HideTest.

    Download http://winsupport.org/utilities/freedos-choice.html Choice.Exe (click on the link to download the utility program near the bottom of the page. "And save it in the C:\HideTest folder).

    Open Notepad and then copy and paste the following text in it:

    Off @Echo

    : All
    Set FilesToHide = No.

    : GoToDir
    C:
    cd\HideTest

    : Top
    CLS
    IF FilesToHide %! Is Yes! Attrib *. * + H

    : Choice
    Choice.Exe /c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide
    If ErrorLevel 2 Goto: exit

    : MakeList
    Dir > TempList.Txt

    : CheckFiles
    Set FilesToHide = No.
    Find.Exe "0 file (s)' TempList.Txt
    If ErrorLevel 1 Set FilesToHide = Yes
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt

    : Loop
    Goto: Top

    : Output
    Set FilesToHide =
    If exist TempList.Txt Del TempList.Txt
    Output

    Click on file, then save under...

    Go to C:\HideTest

    Name the file Hide.Bat

    Click Save

    Close Notepad

    Open Windows Explorer

    Go to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Start where user_name is your own username.

    In the right pane, right click, select New, and then click shortcut.

    Click Browse, and then navigate to C:\HideTest and click on Hide.Bat, click Next.

    Type a new name or accept the default name and click Finish.

    Right-click on the newly created shortcut, and click Properties.

    Change the race: from the normal window to reduced.

    Click on apply, and then click Ok.

    Restart your computer.

    Note: In the line above Choice.Exe c:YN t:Y, 30 are looking for files to hide, 30 is the number of seconds it will wait before checking the new files. This can be from 1 to 99.

    Edit: Just to satisfy my curiosity, why do you do this?

  • deleted files & folder still show when sharing media with XBOX

    I use my XBOX to connect to my windows7 system which is part of the homegroup with multimedia file sharing.  I can access the files and play the video very well.   My problem is when I remove a video folder shared on the computer of Windows7, it always appears in the show still files XBOX as a shared file, or even deleted as existing, but they really aren't there.  How can I force the system to update the list to see what is really in the files?

    I saw that as well, but I think it's the xbox caching (storage) the list and not in fact that Windows 7 is offering an old list.  Re-establishment of the connection to the computer settings of the Xbox seems to refresh, or you can just wait and it will eventually regenerate (for me, a few hours).  Turn on/off the Xbox could even help him out.

    If it was useful, you can vote by clicking on the green triangle. If it solves the problem, click on propose as answer. Thank you!

  • Windows 7 shows more files in the properties that are in the folder!

    I just got a machine with Windows 7 64-bit.  Previously, I was using Vista.   After moving the files from my external backup drive, I found a little annoyance.  When, I copied a folder from outside with 8 files it contains, show up on the windows machine 7 with 8 records.  BUT when goods have been selected on the copy of windows 7 for this folder 9 files.  There is no hidden files in these folders and 'show hidden files' has been selected.

    It does this for about half of the copied files.  This is a disadvantage because when I copy several files of images, I check the properties of the source file and the windows 7 machine to ensure that they match.  They do not match even if the photos are the same on the outside and the machine windows 7!

    Silly little problem, but it makes my head spin!

    Hello

    What is the additional file that is copied and what is the format of this file?

    Try to remove unnecessary files on your computer by using the disk cleanup and check if it makes a difference. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety
    the file system and other items that you no longer need.

    Hi ZohaibJamil,

    If you have one machine to another,
    Then, click Run, type Regedit, go to the next topic & select export.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

    Copy the file on the problematic machine, double click on it & select Yes.

    If you do not have another machine,

    Navigate to the registry entry above & change the values as below:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

    NOHIDDEN - Checkedvalue (2)

    DefaultValue (2)

    SHOWALL - Checkedvalue (1)

    DefaultValue (2)

    That's all!

  • I used "Show Hidden Files" in a folder and all my files disspeared

    I used "Show Hidden Files" in a folder on an external hard drive and all my files disappeared after I changed the settings and press ENTER.

    I also made the change not in a folder, but the subfolders. I have many files duplicate on my external hard drive and I noticed that each file said that she had more files that were contained in each file, so I wanted to see what were these hidden files. After you have clicked on enter, each music file and folder just disappeared.

    I searched my pc but can't find these files. I got more than $ 100 of music who has simply disappeared.

    What can I do b/call, the music were in a separate folder, and there were more than 50 files with hundreds of songs. I mean how to do a cover for it?

    Return to the folder options and use the "Restore default settings" button to change all the options back how they were, and see if it helps.

    You can also try to use the drive in another computer, if you think that the configuration of your computer could be the problem.

  • The files show in the folder AND subfolder in Windows Explorer library

    QUESTION: How can I configure this library so that are not files in subfolders in the folder next-level-up?

    I created a library to a folder in one of our (security) Server readers.  There are several levels of subfolders in the folder 'security '.  It looks like this:

    In any case, I store older versions of ESP in folder under the 'history of ESP.  The problem is that they also show in the folder next-level-up ("ESP").  I thought they were duplicate files, and when I removed them from the folder of the "ESP", they have been removed from the folder under the 'history of ESP.  To make things worse, they don't go in the trash, but it disappeared completely.

    Libraries are the aggregation of search systems - it is intended to launch a search and returns the results of what it finds from this location and all the children locations.


    What you want to do, you probably don't want to use a library.

  • Show hidden files and folders option does not

    I'm trying to access a hidden folder, C:\programdata\... I can't see it in Explorer. When I go into control panel > folder options > discovers... the option box to display hidden files and folders is already selected.

    I tried to change this option to not display hidden files and folders by selecting the radio button, and then clicking on apply. Then I exit the menu display. However, when I return to the menu display the radio button beside display hidden files. That is to say it is not "saved" change.

    I changed other elements in the advanced example view menu Hide extensions of known file types, and it works very well.
