Registry help

where might I be able to find the registry key used for hiding / un-hiding hidden files and folders?

Confusing question. Why would that be a registry entry in stead of being part of the File/direcory information?

Ok, so you mean how to show the hidden files/Directories in the Windows Explorer.

That probably is located somewhere in the registry.

Searching Google or find it your self by using a program like RegShot to see the change of registry after you change the setting in Folder Options.

$key = 'HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced'
RegWrite($key, 'Hidden', 'REG_DWORD', '1'); 2-normal view, 1 show hidden files
