Viruses strive to make life impossible for us, they are capricious and refuse to be eliminated, but once we manage to eliminate them completely, their steps through our team always leave havoc as consequences that affect us as users. One of the most common damages is that they disable access to certain system tasks (Windows); as is the case of the option «show hidden files" for instance.
If you ever find yourself in the above annoying situation or just want a quick access to hidden files, you can opt for more practical and comfortable solutions, in that sense QuickHide it can be a great ally.
QuickHide is a small 217 KB application, simple in terms of design but very efficient and useful in terms of functionality. As can be seen in the previous screenshot, its interface goes straight to the point with the following options:
-
- Show hidden files and folders
-
- Show system protected files and folders
-
- Show file extensions
These last 2 options are complementary and at the same time very useful, since they are also disabled by viruses.
How to use Quick Hide? Very simple, just 1 click on the option you want and you will see the results immediately, you may need to refresh with the F5 key, but it is still quite easy and efficient.
QuickHide It does not need installation, it is portable and of course 100% free. An application that should not be missing in your favorite utilities folder 😎
