New Mexico Mark New Mexico Mark Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2002-01-03 Posts: 223 Loc: Columbia, SC	I'm trying to put together a script to apply all our site settings to new server builds. (Win2K AS) Can anyone tell me where in the registry I can find the settings to make Windows Explorer: 1. Show hidden files and folders 2. Not hide file extensions for known file types 3. Not hide protected OS files If anyone already has this coded, I would be grateful for a code fragment... saves typing! Thanks! New Mexico Mark

Here Mark,

Give these a try...

The site Windows Guide Network under the Registry section contains all this kind of information.

Show Hidden Operating System Files

code:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
Value Name: ShowSuperHidden
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: ( 0 = Hide Files, 1 = Show Files)

Show Hidden Folders and Files

code:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
Value Name: Hidden
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (1 = show hidden, 2 = do not show)

Show even the Hidden Extensions

NOTE: VERY DANGEROUS (Keep a backup of all values removed in case you need/want to restore)

code:

Find and delete occurances of the Value Name: NeverShowExt
System Key: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT]
Value Name: NeverShowExt
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)

Show the Administrative Tools Menu

code:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
Value Name: StartMenuAdminTools
Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
Value Data: Yes or No
