Hello, well i didn't get it, but if you want to show hidden file/folders ,from Control Panel > Folder options > View tab > check "Show hidden files , folder and drives" if you were asking about getting folders/files in a directory you may use : 1- by adding a listbox and a button to your form. in the button code : For Each g In IO.Directory.GetDirectories("d:\") ListBox1.Items.Add(g) Next
this will get all the files / folders whatever they are hidden or not . If you have any problem please feel free to contact me : bashar.tahir@yahoo.com Best Regards

No problem and nice work mate :) .

Hello ,
Don't worry the solution is simple .
From the Main Menu -> Project -> Click "'YourApplication Name' Properties".
Then select the "References" Tab and select "Microsoft Shell Controls And Automation".
Now you have two choices :
1)After selecting it , from the "Properties" window change "Embed Interop Types" to "True" .and that is it .
2)Or change "Embed Interop Types" to "False" but then a file will be generated in your Debug and Compile directory named "Interop.Shell32.dll" this must be included with your application directory anywhere it goes . or you can simply use the first method .

If you have any problem please feel free to contact me : bashar.tahir@yahoo.com
