I'm trying to do a relatively simple thing with Windows Explorer, but it's
turning out to be not so simple.
In the profile I always use, which has full Administrator privileges, I want
to uncheck the box that says <Hidden> for the <Local Settings> folder. When
I do this the setting will stay unchecked for the session and will survive
closing/reopening Explorer, but upon reboot, the box is rechecked. The
actual Local Settings folder appears in the Explorer tree whether the Hidden
box is checked or not - I believe this is because under <Tools/Folder
Options/View>, the <Show hiddden files and folders> box is selected.
I'd like to get that Hidden box in Local Settings permanently unticked. The
reason for this is because I use an old version of PowerDesk in place of
Explorer and the only situation where I can get Local Settings to appear in
the PowerDesk tree is when Hidden is unchecked in Explorer.
