Untitled.pngHi can someone help me with this and tell me way are my files like this

I set up so many computers that if I manually set each one to Show Hidden Files, I wouldn't live long enough to ever get the job done, but then that's only one of very many settings I do during a PC setup.

So like with most of the settings I perform on a new PC, I use a script or batch file to perform most of the settings.

The VB Script to "Show all files" looks like this:

' Script to toggle Windows Explorer display of hidden files,
' super-hidden files, and file name extensions

Option Explicit
Dim dblHiddenData, strHiddenKey, strSuperHiddenKey, strFileExtKey
Dim strKey, WshShell
On Error Resume Next

strKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"
strHiddenKey = strKey & "\Hidden"
strSuperHiddenKey = strKey & "\ShowSuperHidden"
strFileExtKey = strKey & "\HideFileExt"

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
dblHiddenData = WshShell.RegRead(strHiddenKey)

If dblHiddenData = 2 Then
WshShell.RegWrite strHiddenKey, 1, "REG_DWORD"

WshShell.RegWrite strSuperHiddenKey, 1, "REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite strFileExtKey, 0, "REG_DWORD"
WScript.Echo "Windows Explorer will show hidden files and file " & _
"name extensions. You might need to change to another folder " & _
"or press F5 to refresh the view for the change to take effect."

Else
WshShell.RegWrite strHiddenKey, 2, "REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite strSuperHiddenKey, 0, "REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite strFileExtKey, 1, "REG_DWORD"
WScript.Echo "Windows Explorer will not show hidden files or file " & _
"name extensions. (These are the default settings.) You might " & _
"need to change to another folder or press F5 to refresh the " & _
"view for the change to take effect."

End If

Copy and paste the blue lines into a Notepad document and save as "Toggle Hidden Files.vbs"
Then just run the script, to turn hidden files on or off.
