    Unable to hide the ProgramData folder


    I had to unhide the ProgramData folder while attempting to solve an issue, but it turned out to be something else entirely, so now I'm trying to rehide it. However, after going into the properties menu, clicking on the 'hidden' box and pressing apply, nothing changes. It acts like it changed it, but it's still visible.The problem seems to be the same as this user's: ProgramData folder won't hide again - Microsoft CommunityHopefully I'll have more luck getting answers here than they did.

    :)
