Hide child directory structure but keep parent directroy visible .

Question

Hi,

Have following directory structure at D:\ParentDir, where there exists several directories which are often randomly assigned names.

I want to hide all child directories under each DynamicDir 1, DynamicDir N., something like this:

If possible, would like to keep MyDemo.txt file visible if it resides under DynamicDir(s), possible with PowerShell?

Hi,

Please check if this works for you

$folder = 'D:\ParentDir\'  
$file = 'MyDemo.txt'  
Get-childItem -Path $folder | Get-ChildItem |ForEach-Object{  
    if($_.Name -ne $file){  
        $_.Attributes -= 'Hidden'  
    }  
}  

Best Regards，
