I always thought that hiding extensions was stupid too. But I do wish MS
would allow hiding by filename. Those goddamn "System Volume

DO NOT use that drive wasting crap anyhow, and have it disabled
everywhere.


Windows uses SVI, so if you use Windows you're probably (indirectly)
using SVI.

But I still got to see that clutter on everything.....
Since it's disabled, I'd think they would either not create them, or at
least give us a way to hide them. Hiding the Recycle Bin would be useful
too. Again, I dont use it. When I delete something, I want it GONE....


By default, the SVI folders are not visible, so you've chosen to see
them.


I know I can disable ALL system files, but I do want to see most of them
when I am inside the Windows folder. But I dont want to see these SVI
files almost everywhere. If you know of a way to hide them, please tell
me how.

The SVI folders are all empty. Thats because I disabled SVI. But if I
right click on a SVI and choose properties, they are empty.
