File Attributes Problem

[Guest Roger Fink]

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.
