    Is there a way to change the properties of a file extension?


    Is there a way to change the properties of a file extension? As an example: I would like "all" .txt files to be hidden.

    Thanks

    Hello Rwmol,

    You could use the command below to set all .txt files on say the C: drive to be hidden. It will not hide any .txt files that are considered to be Windows 7 system files due to access denied though, but it will all other .txt files found on the C: drive.

    If you like, you could substitute C with any drive letter that you would like to hide .txt files in, or substitute C:\ with the full path of a specific folder that you would like to hide all .txt files in it and it's subfolders.

    File and Folder - Hide or Unhide

    ATTRIB +H "C:\*.txt" /S /D


    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
