Thanks for the reply, but not quite what i'm looking for. I know I can
hide any file by changing its file properties, however I want to make all
file that are a certain filetype hidden, without selecting them all.
Example: say for some reason I only work with excel files, and the folders
i work in are full of excel and word files of the same name (i never open
word files). I want to hide all word documents to make my Windows Explorer
less cluttered. is there a way to make all *.doc files appear as hidden
files in windows explorer?
I'm hopeing to find somewhere that I can go and say make all *.cfg files
hidden. these files are created using a CAD package I use that needs them,
but I never open.
