Greetings all,

Just wanted to share a little program that hides and unhides a folder using Windows Class Identifiers.
This means it changes a folder to "my computer" or "control panel" or whatever u prefer. (i added a small list of things u can choice from)

I hope someone can make good use of this:)

Does it matter it wasn't made to do this? i mean it works so thought someone might find it usefull.

And yes the only reason it needs to be "moved" is because autoit doesn't have a function to rename a folder.

Ah okay i assumed it moved it aswell, but good to know only a rename is used if the location isn't changed:)

Yeah, so basically what did you learn? Read the help file!

"Because AutoIt lacks a "DirRename" function, use DirMove() to rename a folder!" This is in the help file! so doesn't really say if the 2 locations is the same it doesn't execute the move just the rename.

I actually did read it!

One thing i noticed tho. If you hide and unhide it very fast it does show both the folder Test and the hided version of it. So it does move it or is there another reason for it to show both when u do this?

Hi,

Do not bother with a Trac ticket, I have added some more detail to the Remarks of both DirMove and FileMove to explain exactly how to rename folders/files.

I doubt a request would have been made anyway. But thank you @Melba23.

Just in case, here is the bug tracker for reporting issues and enhacements

Wow it's really hard for some people to show even a little bit of respect to others it seems<_<
