What exactly has caused you to need to unhide those files this decade?
- jovdg 10y agoIsn't Windows' hosts file located in a system folder? Not that I change it so often anymore, but when I did more web development, it was not uncommon for me to add a line there...
- nikbackm 10y agoNo, the "system32" folder is a normal folder from that perspective, i.e. it does not have the SYSTEM and HIDDEN attributes set. Same for the "drivers" and "etc" sub-folders.
