No problem, just glad I could help.

Here is a way to do it with AHK. It uses the hotkey (WinKey + H). It also refreshes the window as well...


--- ---#SingleInstance Force
#Persistent
#NoEnv
SetBatchLines, -1

#h::

CheckActiveWindow:
ID := WinExist("A")
WinGetClass,Class, ahk_id %ID%
WClasses := "CabinetWClass ExploreWClass"
IfInString, WClasses, %Class%
GoSub, Toggle_HiddenFiles_Display
Return

Toggle_HiddenFiles_Display:
RootKey = HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SubKey  = Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

RegRead, HiddenFiles_Status, % RootKey, % SubKey, Hidden
If HiddenFiles_Status = 2
RegWrite, REG_DWORD, % RootKey, % SubKey, Hidden, 1
Else
RegWrite, REG_DWORD, % RootKey, % SubKey, Hidden, 2
PostMessage, 0x111, 28931,,, ahk_id %ID%
Return

ronriel:
thanks aCkRiTe... refreshing the window is an extra mouse click. so thank you..  :Thmbsup:

ronriel:
aCkRiTe, have you used Autoit3? which do you think is more powerful?  I have Autoit3 installed and so far am very happy with it. As soon as i knew which registry values to manipulate, I was able to implement this function on hotkeys... however, i was not able to get it to refresh the windows automatically. Well, i'm not very good at Autoit3 either b'coz i have only discovered it last week.

They say, both Autoit3 and Ahk have a common beginning, so which is better?
Am i better off switching to AHK (i have used Autoit3 for a week anyway) or stick to autoit3?

I'm sorry if this is a little off topic...
