Hello M18XR2,

Unfortunately, they are tied together.

To be able to show hidden protected OS files, you must also show hidden files....

A detailed answer to this thread.

If you want to create a protected operating system folder, run an elevated command prompt and type this command into it:

attrib.exe +s +h "Full folder path" /S /D
(Include the quotation marks if the target path has spaces)

If you want to apply this to all the subdirectories and files as well, then type these 2 commands:

attrib.exe +s +h "Full folder path" /S /D
attrib.exe +s +h "Full folder path\*.*" /S /D

If you want to undo this action then replace the "+s +h" with "-s -h"

I hope this helped!
