[embeth]

there was a post i found that had almost what i needed.


http://www.sevenforums.com/customization/81717-hide-all-certain-file-type-folder-tree.html


i need to hide certain files types in a folder and a set of subfolders, though there is files in there i want to view


attrib +h *.nfo /s


however there are jpg files in there i want to hide though i dont want them to be hid system wide.

is there a way i can hide certain file types in a folder 'only'

Just highlight all the files you want to hide, right click (with the cursor on one of the selected files), click properties, then check the box "Hidden".

i have been doing that but there a few subfolders... and doing it to each and everyone of them is a bit time consuming

What's wrong with the command you have already:

attrib +h *.nfo /s
The switch "/s" applies the command to all subfolders
just leave it out and only the folder you're in is affected.

Here is the complete list of options:

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:] [path] filename] [/S [/D]]

+ Sets an attribute.
- Clears an attribute.
R Read-only file attribute.
A Archive file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
/S Processes files in all directories in the specified path.
/D Process folders as well.

If you want the command only to be applied to certain subfolders...just move all subfolders that shouldn't be touched to a different location (i.e the desktop), run the command and move them back.
