Question

Which folder artibutes does the Windows Explorer hide?

Asked by Dan Barzilay

Answer

The Windows Explorer will hide files with the hidden attribute unless you select the option Show hidden files, folders, and drives under Organize > Folder and search options > View. It will hide files with the system attribute unless you uncheck the box Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) in the same dialog.
