"Hide/show selected file" using context menu

[Trial4life]

Hi,
I managed to create these custom context menu options:

Creating two registry keys in [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell], and using these commands:

attrib -h "%1"
attrib +h "%1"

("Mostra" = show, "Nascondi" = hide in italian)

Now, is there a way to make only one of the two options appear? ("Show file" if the file is hidden, "Hide file" if the file is not hidden). I suppose it's not that easy...

Thanks for the help!

Hello Trial4life, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might see how this may work for you.

Thanks for the fast reply.

I've seen that topic, but I was trying to do something different, something like this:

The system should recognize if the file/folder is already hidden or not, so that there should be only one context menu option (and not two in cascade). Is it possible?

I'm afraid that I don't know how to accomplish that either.
