You can add a registry key as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_US ER\Software\Mic rosoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\
Advanced

Add a new String value:
Name: Hidden
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: (1 = show hidden, 2 = do not show)

Hi All, I have seen many examples of deleting folders with subfolders and files. (system.io.directory/info etc delete method) However, I cannot find a decent code example which will work where some folders/files maybe read only or hidden. I know, basically have to change the file attributes to normal. Has anyone a good example of a URL for a good example? Cheers, Pete Gomersall

Hi, I am trying to get file listing that would ignore hidden files and folders. But using the Directory.GetFiles method seems to get all files and folders in the specified path irrespective of their hidden status. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks, Saranjit

I loop through all the folders in a directory. I want to be able to check if a folder is set as hidden. I've been playing around with FileAttributes, see below. But its not working. FileAttributes fileAttributes = File.GetAttributes(fileName); It returns a value of 34 which is not one of the values in the FileAttributes Enumeration. Anyone done this before? How can i test if its hidden or not?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
