How can i change the default setting for all *.dat files to be hidden?

Solution
you can go to your C: drive or open an elevated command prompt and put in "attrib +h *.dat /s" without the quotes. if you change the + to a - then it will show the files again. Make sure show hidden files and folders is not checked or you will still see the files
