| Remove the hidden attribute on Temporary Internet Files
I have Windows XP on my computer. I would like to withdraw the "hidden" attribute in the Temporary Internet Files folder. In the BDR, I have checked nohidden and SHOWALL. I have the default 2, 2 and 1, 2 for keys CheckedValue and DefaultValue. But apparently that is not enough. Somebody know how it can be done? |

It is the Local Settings folder (which is located in the Temporary Internet Files) is hidden, Temporary Internet Files is visible and making a property, the "hidden" is grayed impossible to check. |

My Local Settings are not hidden, only Temporary Internet Files remains invisible. I accessed through the Internet Options. The "hidden" is grayed impossible to check. Or rather to shoot. |

To enable/disable show hidden files/folders save the below code as .vbs file on your hard drive and then double click on it to run. Code: Message = "To work correctly, the script will close" & vbCR
Message = Message & "and restart the Windows Explorer shell." & vbCR
Message = Message & "This will not harm your system." & vbCR & vbCR
Message = Message & "Continue?"
X = MsgBox(Message, vbYesNo, "Notice")
If X = 6 Then
On Error Resume Next
Dim WSHShell, n, p, itemtype, MyBox
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
p = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden"
itemtype = "REG_DWORD"
n = WSHShell.RegRead (p)
errnum = Err.Number
if errnum <> 1 then
WSHShell.RegWrite p, 2, itemtype
End If
If n = 2 Then
WshShell.RegWrite p, 1, itemtype
MyBox = MsgBox("Show Hidden Files and Folders are now ENABLED", 64, "Hidden Files and Folders")
End If
If n = 1 Then
WshShell.Regwrite p, 2, itemtype
MyBox = MsgBox("Show Hidden Files and Folders are now DISABLED", 64, "Hidden Files and Folders")
End If
Set WshShell = Nothing
On Error GoTo 0
For Each Process in GetObject("winmgmts:"). _
ExecQuery ("select * from Win32_Process where name='explorer.exe'")
Process.terminate(0)
Next
MsgBox "Finished." & vbcr & vbcr , 4096, "Done"
Else
MsgBox "No changes were made to your system." & vbcr & vbcr, 4096, "User Cancelled"
End If |
