Hide known file extensions

Cem_Karaer

Hello,

Is there any automation object to determine if the current system's folder option "Hide extensions for known file types" is checked or not?

Sog

if you know where this option is saved in the registry, You could use the objShell automation. Search for shell on mibuso.

Use the Registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced\HideFileExt

0 = Show
1 = Hide

You can define an automation variable of type "Microsoft Script Host Object Model" to read from the Registry. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244675

Thank you for your help. Here is the test CodeUnit utilizing the object.

OBJECT Codeunit 50000 Test

  }
  PROPERTIES
  {
    OnRun=BEGIN
            IF ISCLEAR(WshShell) THEN
              CREATE(WshShell);

            Result := WshShell.RegRead('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\HideFileExt');
          END;

  }
