Congratulations on your first mod! 🎉

It would be amazing to have also a shortcut such as Ctrl+H or a context menu entry to toggle the vistibility of hidden files..

This PowerShell script kind of does that but I wish we could have this integrated in this mod (I associated it with a PowerToys keyboard shortcut):

# Define the registry path and the property name
$regPath = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced"
$propertyName = "Hidden"

# Get the current value of the "Hidden" property
$currentValue = Get-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name $propertyName | Select-Object -ExpandProperty $propertyName

# Toggle the "Hidden" property value (1 = show hidden files, 2 = don't show hidden files)
$newValue = if ($currentValue -eq 2) { 1 } else { 2 }

# Set the new value
Set-ItemProperty -Path $regPath -Name $propertyName -Value $newValue

# Refresh Explorer to apply changes immediately
$signature = '[DllImport("shell32.dll")] public static extern void SHChangeNotify(int wEventId, uint uFlags, IntPtr dwItem1, IntPtr dwItem2);'
Add-Type -MemberDefinition $signature -Namespace WinAPI -Name Shell32
[WinAPI.Shell32]::SHChangeNotify(0x8000000, 0x1000, [IntPtr]::Zero, [IntPtr]::Zero)

# Send F5 (refresh) command to all open Explorer windows
$explorerWindows = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
foreach ($window in $explorerWindows.Windows()) {
    if ($window.Name -eq "File Explorer") {
        $window.Refresh()
    }
}
