Hiding desktop.ini files
Hi,
Can somebody help me with this? I do want to "Show hidden files and folders" and I don't want to "Hide protected operating system files" (as set in Folder Options). But it would be very nice to avoid seeing all those desktop.ini files which are "scattered" here and there. Is it somehow possible to hide files on a per file type bases? /Reine

Hiding desktop.ini files
You could just *delete* them.
That hides them pretty good. -- Maxwell Bluemeanie "Reine Larsson" wrote in message ... Hi, Can somebody help me with this?

So what your saying is that desktop.ini files is of no use. Why are they
there from the beginning then? "Max" wrote in message ... You could just *delete* them. That hides them pretty good. -- Maxwell Bluemeanie "Reine Larsson" wrote in message ...

Hiding desktop.ini files
Not always..sometimes they stay gone.
;-) (unless you mess around with 'customizing' folders, icons, etc, then you may have to make them 'hide' again) -- Maxwell Bluemeanie "John Barnes" wrote in message ... it will just be recreated.
