Something I find myself repeatedly having to do is going into the explorer menu to switch back and forth between showing and hiding hidden files.
Is there some sort of an add-on for the explorer that simplifies this? I'm thinking a button on the toolbar to toggle the view would be really nice. (I have a "new folder" button which is awesome, for example.)
1: I was wanting something just like that too - could not find anything for it ... not "hidden files" (see pink area in this image) but the "protected files" (yellow highlight) I wanted to be able to toggle ...
3: much too skittish to go playing in the registry ... at this time ...
3: There are lots of files which trash up the view (and even desktop) like thumbnail files or folders with configuration or database files that I normally want to avoid in normal work.
I ended up installing a nice explorer replacement called FreeCommander that provides the ability to designate a keyboard shortcut to hide and unhide, and that's working quite nicely. :o)
