At first, the code did not work for me on Windows 8. I added additional check for itemName == "File Explorer". if (itemName == "Windows Explorer" || itemName == "File Explorer") After that it worked. This post says it is renamed to File Explorer in Windows 8. Thank you.

| May 19, 2010 at 11:34 | comment | added | Paya | However the Windows Explorer in Win7 is somewhat strange. If I set the "Hidden" value in registry, while no Windows Explorer is running, and then start the Windows Explorer, then he will not take the registry change into account, and I need to refresh it after it starts. Do you, by any luck, know how to force the Win Explorer to take the change into account? Periodically refreshing all Explorers to make sure that all new-started Explorers get refreshed is not very nice solution. :-( | |
