C# - Changing Windows Folder Option Setting


I need to be able to have access to a hidden file and if I try to access it without the appropriate setting set, I will get an access error. Is there a way to change this option: http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/658/captureplz.png through C# code?

I am guessing the Registry, but I'm not sure where this would be.


Solution

  • This setting has nothing to do with the access error your getting. This option is what the user of the computer sees and does not effect your application whatsoever.

    Maybe you could provide some more information about the specific error message your seeing. The error is probably resulting from your application not have the correct permissions to access a file. Check out this question about requesting file permissions.
