How can I change what files Windows 95 hides by default ?
This is ONLY for advanced users who are comfortable with modifying their system files, and know how to use a HEX editor. So as a result the description will be very sparse. I really like being able to hide certain directories on my system, such as MOST of the subdirectories under WINDOWS, but they will only be hidden in explorer if the option to hide Specific files is turned on, unfortunately this means DLL’s and SYS files are hidden as well, which REALLY annoys me. The list of files that Windows 95 hides by default is hard coded in the system file SHELL32.DLL, by booting to DOS, and making a copy of this file then hex editing this file you can change what they are. Search SHELL32.DLL for one of the extensions that is hidden (I use VXD) you will find a list of the 5 file types, change the types you wish to hide, (I replaced dll with gid, and sys with ocx), save the file, and reboot with the new SHELL32.DLL file in place. Your choice of files should now be hidden when you turn on the op
