    I'M GETTING THIS PROBLEM, i followed all steps as written but it shows this dailogbox. this trick toggles the hidden files and folders but i'm getting this annoying dialog box, same is happening in the "show/hide file extensions"



    pls help

    Hello Pranavjindal, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    I have updated the tutorial to have two options for the Show/Hide Hidden Files context menu item. One that will play sound, and one that will not play sound when used to help those that have Windows Media Player turned off in Windows Features. :)


    thank you for helping.. works fine now.

    I have noticed that if WMP is running while this vbs is run it will be killed, even if you use the "no sound" version. However, I have managed to fix this by changing the code in "Toggle_Show_Hidden_Files_On_Off.vbs" to:
    Code:
    Hidden = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden"
    SSHidden = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSuperHidden"
    Set Command1 = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Check = Command1.RegRead(Hidden)
    If Check = 2 Then
    Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 1, "REG_DWORD"
    Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, 1, "REG_DWORD"
    Else
    Command1.RegWrite Hidden, 2, "REG_DWORD"
    Command1.RegWrite SSHidden, 0, "REG_DWORD"
    End If
    Command1.SendKeys "{F5}"
    (pretty much just cutting out command2)

    ... hopefully this will cause fewer people to be interrupted while listening to Mr. Scruff (or other music). Also, please reply if you see something wrong with this modification, this is my first time editing vb code.

    Edit: Never mind, I must have been using the "with sound" version, or a old version.

    Hello Slang, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Thank you, but this is the same as the download in step 2 of OPTION ONE though. I provided two separate downloads for one with sound and one without sound. :)

    If you see a console opening an closing every time you show or hide, try to change "cmd.exe" to "WScript" to run the vbs script.

    Honestly this is the best tutorial/hack/tweak/option whatever you want to call it, in the world. I have been searching for this option for years and I can't thank you enough for making it. ^^)
