Instead of hiding all system hidden files and folders, can I choose which hidden files based on extension, and folders I want to hide ?

I don't think I was understood.

I don't want to toggle which files I want to see in a folder. I want to set a global setting for the entire drive. For example, if I have a file called "thb.db" which is a system hidden file, I want that file to always be hidden, but if I have a file called "good.hyt" that is a system hidden folder, I may want files with that extension to be visible, the same for folders, especially system hidden folders. I want to pick and choose what I want visible and what I want hidden.

View > Show Hidden Files or Folder, hides all hidden folders. That is not my goal, my goal is to hide selected folders/files, permanently so I don't see them anymore within XY. Setting a visual filter hides the files\folders for that window pane, I still see the folder\files in the tree.

Must I explain any further ?

Maybe use admin.ini?

What are the codes to hide hidden files / folders ? The documentation does not list this information.
