Code to create a Batch file that disable the option "hide protected operating system files"

I would like to create a batch file to disable Windows option "hide protected operating system files" (You can see in the image in attachment the option that I want disable).

Can you help me?

Thank you very much

Disable hide protected operating system files.

Solution

  • Change the registry setting ShowSuperHidden with the following command:

    reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "ShowSuperHidden" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

    It sets this registry entry to TRUE=1 to show these system files.
    Restarting the "explorer.exe" may be necessary

    taskkill /im explorer.exe /f
explorer

    The second command restarts explorer.exe.
    A more complete list of these registry modifications can be found at GitHUB.
