anyway to hide a certain file type in wondows vista?

Does anyone know how to hide a certain file type in windows? For example. Say I wanted to hid all .mp3 files in windows. Is there anyway to do that?

The reason I ask is some of the programs I use create batch files next to the original mp3. I want to hide all of those.

So you wanna hide all your porn? I see. lol

lol damn, u caught me

Have you tried Folder Lock? I know you said files but this program hides folders.

wait, that won't help you if you have files next to the files you want to hide

yea they are next to the files. See, I put them in mixmeister and it creates a batch file right next to the mp3. They are all called "track.mxm"

I want to hide all the .mxm files in windows. I can do it folder by folder but i want to do it for everything...grrr

heres where i hide my files www.officemax.com

what are you doin with mixmeister anyway learn to mix!!!! lol JK

Is Wondows the new operating system?

lol he bought it from an asian dude off the corner 2 weeks before street date...it came with a copy of paranormal activity

bezzle i use it to make mashups and little edits and shit....it's not the greatest of programs but i am too lazy to learn something new lol

wondows lol

abelton dose the same thing for me i got .asd & .mxm files with my mp3's & WAV's Grrrrr...

Yeah those .asd files are an annoyance to have everywhere.

yea see....I wanna hide them mofo's!!!

Anytime i make an edit i make copies of the original tracks, and copy them into a folder for the edit im making thats far away from my music collection, this keeps all these files, in my case audition .PK files out of my music collection, BUT, if you want to hide em.




Create a batch file with the following line, run the batch file to hide all the files. This only works on an as needed basis it wont automatically hide new files.


attrib +r +s +h c:\*.asd /s /d


If you want to see them again then run this batch:

attrib -r -s -h c:\*.asd /s /d

This works on XP didnt test on the others. You can change the '.asd' to whatever file type you want.

I take no responsibility for you jacking up your machine cuz you dont know what your doing.

Have fun.

hmmm (nervous to try this)

not sure how to create a batch file though

Here how dude, geesh what r these peeps talking about?

1)Go to CONTROL PANEL
2)Go to FOLDER OPTIONS
3)Click on VIEW tab
4) check box for "Hide extentions for know file types"

Done &Done!

here's the problem josh, a .mxm or .asd file is not a "known file type"

Just trying to help man

lol

All this will do is hide the .asd at the end of the filename, it will still show the file. It says hide "extensions" not hide files. So instead of showing filename.asd it will show just 'filename'.

To make a batch file create a new text document save it, rename it to filename.bat instead of filenamt.txt.

Have Fun.

how do you execute it?
