Turn ‘View Hidden Files’ On and Off in Windows with a Shortcut

The CyberNet blog has posted a seriously helpful cut-and-paste script that anyone can turn into a shortcut to turn Windows’ hidden file showing on and off. Normally, showing hidden files—like folders named with a starting “.” and configuration files—is accessed through the options in Windows Explorer windows or shell extension tools, but this Virtual Basic script can be stashed anywhere and accessed from a keyboard shortcut. Great solution for those who alternate between showing and hiding hidden files.
