Folder Options: Don't hide hidden items/show file extension #23

(Probably going to tackle this during Hacktober fest).

Would it be possible to set the folder options in Windows to toggle these two items that almost everyone does whenever launching windows?

@thetest3r This is almost certainly possible; the trick is finding out which registry keys/entries control this behavior 😁

In fact, the Windows 10 "For Developers" dialog has some really good File Explorer tweaks. I honestly wouldn't mind if Chemo incorporated all of them 😉
