Wait a minute, that path is wrong.<br />
<br />
Try this instead:<br />
<br />
reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Wi<wbr />ndows\Curr<wbr />entVersion<wbr />\Explorer\<wbr />Advanced /v Hidden /t REG_DWORD /d 2

I've searched everywhere for a solution to this. &nbsp;I am trying to use either a batch file, VB script, or Group Policy on Windows Server 2003 to set this option to &quot;Do not show hidden files and folders&quot; on Windows XP and 2000 machines. &nbsp;Any thoughts out there...?

Hello,

I've searched everywhere for a solution to this.  I am trying to use either a batch file, VB script, or Group Policy on Windows Server 2003 to set this option to "Do not show hidden files and folders" on Windows XP and 2000 machines.  Any thoughts out there...?

&quot;Do not show hidden files and folders&quot; domain setting.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

&quot;Do not show hidden files and folders&quot; domain setting.

"Do not show hidden files and folders" domain setting.
