how to Right Click and HIDE UNHIDE Files

By: subhash chandra

To enable “Hide File” and “Unhide File” option in file context menu:

Open the Notepad editor from Windows Vista start menu and copy the code given below:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Hide File]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Hide File\command]
@="attrib +S +H %1"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Unhide File]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Unhide File\command]
@="attrib -S -H %1"

;

Save the above code in notepad as ‘Hide AndUnhideFile.reg‘ to the computer.
Browse the saved file and then right click to the file and from the opening context menu select merge.

After merging the entries to the Windows Vista registry, reboot your system.
Open the explorer and check for the newly added Hide File and Unhide File context menu item for files and folders.
Note: This windows registry trick works also with the former operating system Windows XP.

Warning: Modifying the Windows registry can cause serious damage to your Windows Operating System.It is better to backup your Windows registry data before making any changes. Tomstricks.com is not responsible for any changes you may make to your system.
