Hi,
I'm trying to filter, and after deleting a series of hidden files from my folder structure (files like ".picasa").
Do you know how I can do that? I tried using a filter but couldn't find a way to filter by attribute type (ex, hidden)
Thanks for any h3elp on this topic

Re: Search only hidden files
Hi,
Like this: Successfully tested in the %user% directory
You can't find these files by searching for them with the 'hidden' system attribute, because they don't have it. The . prefix has been reused by MS to follow the unix convention of making . files hidden by default. XY lets you find them by checking this box.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
