Windows Explorer Folder Options

[Rolf]

Is it possible to set the Windows Explorer Folder Options/View like "Show
hidden files and folders", "Hide extensions for known file types", etc.
using a GPO?

Thanks

Perhaps you can figure it out if you take a look at the
valuenames, because I don´t have an english veriosn I
can´t give you the right expression of a english GUI :-(

the registry path for the 2 keys are:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
Advanced

the keys are:

Value Name: Hidden
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: (1 = show hidden, 2 = do not show)

Value Name: ShowSuperHidden
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: ( 0 = Hide Files, 1 = Show Files)

hope this helps....

use GPO to do ACTIONLISTON and ACTIONLISTOFF
