Reg tweak needed: unprotect C: & System Folders


Recommended Posts

After a fresh install of windows when the C drive is double clicked a blue message screen comes up stating that:

These files are hidden.

This folder contains files that keep your system working properly.

You should not modify its contents.

Show the contents of this folder

The same blue screen appears when the windows or system32 directories are entered. I know it is easy enough to just click the Showthe contents of the folder link to continue but i was wondering if there is a registry tweak that can be imported so that this screen never pops up?

any suggestions?

download the file in the sticky post titles registry tweaks.

you find a lot of tweaks in it. Just make sure you read the instructions

They're not ment to all be applied at the same time.

Your looking for unprotect system files.
