What I have is a a folder on a drive.
There are several folders that drive.
e.g. One folder is set to hidden.
This hidden folder contains many sub-folders.
This folder and sub-folders are thus not visible and do not show in Explorer or file dialogs.
However, despite the "hidden" setting, they all show in Everything.
The same with setting in Everything Tools> Options> Indexes> check Exclude "Exclude hidden files and folders"

NOPE!

Did that, still shows!
Anyway I'm going to dump Wise Folder Hide.
It's useless and likely on sets the "H" attribute.
