How to write an autohotkey script to toggle the Show hidden files and folders setting?
- by Oq
I would like to make use of a hotkey to toggle the Show hidden files and folders setting.
I want to use it on both windowsXp and Windows7.
Here is what I got so far:
#h::
RegRead, Showall_Status, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL, CheckedValue,
If Showall_Status = 0
RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL, CheckedValue, 1
Else
RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden\SHOWALL, CheckedValue, 0
Return
Problem is when I run the script it simply does nothing. Not sure what I am missing.
