#0::Send,{F2}^c{ESC}^h^v{ENTER}!j{HOME}+{END}

Can you guess what it does?

I gotta tell ya... you got me. That gave me about a half a second's worth of panic, ya bastaaad.

Why would you want to do this? At least in the folder I ran it in, it proved not only heart-stopping, but worthless, at least to me. Maybe I am missing something (besides the sense enough to run this script!), but I can't see the value in this. ???

...and the fish keep on biting.

Very interesting!

Can you guess what it does?

Is it a Boss Key to toggle between files you want seen (and those you don't)?

Assume you have a set of rar files and have extracted the contents to a directory.

Assumes you have the directory that you extracted selected
#0::Send,{F2}^c{ESC}^h^v{ENTER}!j{HOME}+{END}

#0
hotkey is activated by windows key and 0

Send
Use send function to send keystrokes to focus window (xplorer2)
{F2}
Start rename

^c
Copy the selected text (from start rename)

{ESC}
get out of that mode

^h
visual filter

^v
paste the selected text (the directory we selected)

{ENTER}
start the visual filter - * is pre/appended to filter

!j
hide the folders (so as not to delete any previously created)

{HOME}
go to start of list

+{END}
press shift and select to end of visible filtered list

So, then you can delete them etc.
