Thanks for your help, much appreciated :rolleyes:

No, I am actually asking you. Why do you hide them again?

Cos i don't want anyone to see the pics of your ma


Na seriously though, has anyone got a clue if its possible to set up a hotkey on the keyboard to do this?

feylya

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\WHATEVER")
If objFolder.Attributes AND 2 Then
 objFolder.Attributes = 0
End If
If objFolder.Attributes AND 0 Then
 objFolder.Attributes = 2
End If

Save that as a .vbs file then setup a hot key to the file. Should work.

Nice i hope this works, thanks mate

Probably OTT but it's the only thing that I can think of that would enable and disable hidden. Haven't tested it but it's based from a Microsoft example.

Dunno how to even set up a hotkey

feylya

Create a shortcut to the file, right click, properties, shortcut tab, click in the key field and press your desired shortcut.

I don't think its working

feylya

****, I just realised it's only for one folder. Gimme a minute and I'll see what I can do.
