Hiding And Unhiding Multiple files In Windows Explorer in One Go

To Hide Or Unhide a number of files together is easy if you have all of them together. But what will you do when they are scattered into many sub-folders..? Instead of going to the properties of each file and doing the needed, all you have to do is this...

If you wish to unhide all the files, First hide the parent folder. Then a message box pops up asking you whether you wish to apply that setting to the sub-folders too. Press yes and everything will be hidden. Now unhide that parent folder and the message box pops up again. Press yes again. Now you have all the files unhidden.

The reverse also works.
Good Luck!
