Windows 7 - File and Folder - Add "Hide" and "Unhide" to Context Menu

   Information

This will add Hidden File Attributes and Hidden Folder Attributes to the context menu of files and folders for all users to be able to hide or unhide one or more selected file(s), folder(s), and/or folder(s) contents in Windows 7.

You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to add or remove this from the context menu. All users will be able to use the context menu though.
