- Optionally informs about current state using a popup balloon notification

Very helpful to turn extensions on and off or to hide folders and documents easily.
-
Really useful tool, I just think it should be coupled in the Windows Explorer instead of being a standalone application.

Thanks, now it works fine :) I tried to write something like this (under .NET or WSH) after using Linux, but failed with Explorer updating like in your previous version. How about hotkey option for show/hide it on tray and running parameters for direct switching?
