Change the Show Hidden Items setting on a folder

Where is the setting to "show / hide items" on a particular folder stored?

I looking to be able to change it programmatically, hopefully in Powershell.

I try you're code but this part doesn't work:

Set-ItemProperty -Path $file -Name attributes  -Value ((Get-ItemProperty $file).attributes -bxor ([io.fileattributes]::Hidden))

I just replace "hiden" by "normal" and it's work:

Set-ItemProperty -Path $file -Name attributes  -Value ([io.fileattributes]::Normal)

Thank you.

So try this :

$file = "c:\temp\t.txt"
# Hidde  $file
Set-ItemProperty -Path $file -Name attributes  -Value ([io.fileattributes]::Hidden)
# Remove Hidden if set 
Set-ItemProperty -Path $file -Name attributes  -Value ((Get-ItemProperty $file).attributes -bxor ([io.fileattributes]::Hidden))
