Delem
V0614, 2.20
Another possibility is to mark files as ‘hidden’. A hidden file is not shown in the Windows
Explorer and as such it is protected against unauthorised user actions. A hidden file can also
not be opened from within Windows applications, such as Wordpad. The Delem application
can still open a necessary settings file, even though it is hidden.
If an authorised person wishes to access hidden files, the Windows Explorer has the setting
to view all files. From within the Explorer, open the View menu and select ‘Options...’. The
following window appears:
Figure 2.d
Do not show hidden files and folders
The file Explorer will not show files that have been marked as hidden.
Hide protected operating system files
The Explorer will not show files that are used by the Windows Operating system.
Hide file extensions
The Explorer will not show the three-digit extension in file names.
On the following pages a list of files is given that contain settings for the Windows Operating
system and for the Delem control application.
