Here's the modified script: Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") theKey = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden" setHidden = WshShell.RegRead(theKey) If setHidden = 1 Then setHidden = 0 WshShell.SendKeys "{F5}" Else setHidden = 1 WshShell.SendKeys "{F5}" End If WshShell.RegWrite theKey,setHidden,"REG_DWORD" Set WshShell = Nothing Instead of displaying message of state, I replace with refresh so you don’t have to. Here’s the modified script:
Set WshShell = CreateObject(”WScript.Shell”)
theKey = “HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden”
setHidden = WshShell.RegRead(theKey)
If setHidden = 1 Then
setHidden = 0
WshShell.SendKeys “{F5}”
Else
setHidden = 1
WshShell.SendKeys “{F5}”
End If
WshShell.RegWrite theKey,setHidden,”REG_DWORD”
Set WshShell = Nothing

HKCU or HKEY_CURRENT_USER is writable for the user. You do not need Admin privileges to modify this setting via the UI either. Ryan wrote:

That’s odd, it’s not supposed to execute registry modifications without a UAC prompt?
