Ctrl - Alt - H to Show and Hide Hidden Files
Hidden files can quickly be shown and hidden again using the the following VBScript. The script has only been tested in Windows Vista, but should work in other versions of Windows.
'showHiddenFiles.vbs 'http://johnscomputerjournal.blogspot.com Dim WSHShell, n, p, itemtype, MyBox Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") p = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden" itemtype = "REG_DWORD" n = WSHShell.RegRead (p) errnum = Err.Number if errnum <> 1 then WSHShell.RegWrite p, 2, itemtype End If If n = 2 Then ' currently hidden down = 9 ' WshShell.RegWrite p, 1, itemtype End If If n = 1 Then ' currently shown down = 8 ' WshShell.Regwrite p, 2, itemtype End If WshShell.Run "RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Options_RunDLL 7" WScript.Sleep 500 WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}" '8 to hide '9 to show For i=1 to down WshShell.SendKeys "{DOWN}" Next WshShell.SendKeys " {TAB}{TAB}{ENTER}" Set WshShell = NothingAfter saving the VBScript, create a shortcut to the script someplace in your start menu. Right click the shortcut and assign the shortcut keys Ctrl - Alt - H.
