show/hide hidden files from menu or icon?
I made the jump to Win 7 and finally I am leaving Vista behind (so to speak, since it is still vista).
I like the new OS much better and my old vista got very clunky with age. I am a web developer and I run multiple power applications so I have several rigs, all of them maxed out on RAM and available disk space.
Now that I have a shiny new OS I'd like to know if there is a shortcut I could create for one of the things that has been bugging me about all versions of Windows:
In the course of my day, I often need to visit the "Hidden" files in my computer. Normally, I have to go to Win Expl. and choose "display hidden files".
It's not a strenuous task, but I would much rather have a single button or menu item to do the same task. Can it be that hard to do?
The reason is that I often have to customize system files (mostly program files) and usually I keep the hidden files visible by default. If I could have an accessible switch to turn it on and off at will that did not require 4 steps to accomplish it would be certainly nicer. Otherwise I forget and I have to look at all the ugly files on my system.
Where should I look for such a functionality?
Thanks.
