Hi,
Thanks for this little tutorial! I found it very helpful in hiding those annoying Vista Ultimate language packs…
It looks so obvious now.
Thanks again,
Michael.
It is even easier to right-click and then just hit H. You can go through all of the language packs in Vista Ultimate in under half a minute that way.
