Hiding Directories or Files in the Image
You can hide directories or files so that they are not used when the image is applied to a device. This
enables you save their existence so that you can later unhide them to be applied to the imaged
device.
1 Click File > Open.
2 Browse for and select the image file.
Large image files might take a few moments to open.
3 Select the directories and files to be hidden.
IMPORTANT: When editing a base image, do not hide BPB files or the device won't be able
to boot the new operating system after receiving the image.
4 Click Image > Delete.
You can also right-click the selected directories and files, then select Delete.
Deleting a file in the Image Explorer merely marks it for deletion; it can still be retrieved. A file
marked as deleted is not removed from the image until the image is purged; files and folders
marked as deleted are not restored during imaging.
Unhiding Directories or Files in the Image
You can unhide directories or files so that they are available when the image is applied to a device.
1 Click File > Open.
2 Browse for and select the image file.
Large image files might take a few moments to open.
3 Select the directories and files that were previously hidden that you want to unhide.
4 Click Image > Undelete.
You can also right-click the selected directories and files, then select Undelete.
This makes them available in the image when it is applied to a device.
