I can see hidden files, but cannot see superhidden.
This is not a Delphi setting or an OpenDialog setting. It's a Windows shell setting that the user can configure for herself, and you certainly shouldn't go messing with it.
If you want to change it on your own machine so that these files are visible, you can follow these steps:
Open Control Panel.
Open the Folder Options control panel.
Switch to the "View" tab.
Clear the check box labeled "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)".
Click OK.
There's an excellent answer to this question at Raymond Chen's blog: When people ask for security holes as features: Hiding files from Explorer.

Microsoft released Windows terminal as a Microsoft Store app. How to add it to the context menu or replace 'Open Powershell window here' with it ?
There might have been several approaches discussed everywhere, but none of them is up-to-date nor offers flexibility. So I started a new open source project and provided two PowerShell scripts to help.
https://github.com/lextm/windowsterminal-shell
You can run install.ps1 as administrator in PowerShell 7 to easily add the default layout.
There are other layouts (mini and flat at this moment).
Uninstall the menu items are also easy with uninstall.ps1.
The Win-X Menu shortcuts are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX and in the Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\InboxApp part of the registry, but the file explorer option is the one that really dictates what happens in the Win-X menu. I do not suggest just adding and changing stuff in the WinX folder because you could mess things up, however, the winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.30 app in the link provides a way in which you wouldn't mess it up. Either way, you should put "%programfiles%\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.11.1121.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe" in either a shortcut in the WinX folder, or in the app named accordingly.

I have a dummy question because I nothing understand in OSX.
I use Visual Studio for Windows and build Xamarin iOS app. Visual Studio uses Mac as build server. After the build process I need to upload *.ipa file to iTunesConnect through ApplicationLoader on OSX. And I encountered a problem, I cannot find my file from ApplicationLoader.
I found that file is placed in 'Untitled/Users/alexey/Library/...etc'. But I haven't see Library folder. What does it mean?
In macOS the Library folder of the user domain is hidden by default.
To show it temporarily
In Finder open the Go menu and press the ⌥(option)-key. Choose the Library menu item.
In Finder press ⇧⌘G, type ~/Library and press return
To show it permanently
Select your home folder, press ⌘J to show the View Options and check the checkbox at the bottom.

I have a situation here.
I want to hide a folder from a specific user in Windows Seven.
This is not just a simple hide. I want to hide the folder from other 'Standard Users' (not administrator) logging into the system in such a way that they don't even know the existence of the folder.
I found that if a folder is hidden by administrator, then if the standard user enables 'Show hidden files and folders', the folder becomes visible. Well, they cannot access the contents due to permissions, that is fine.
But what I want is even if the standard user enables 'Show hidden files and folders' windows will not show the hidden folder to them. I want the folder to be seen by administrator only.
This does not necessarily mean that I have to 'hide' it.
I want to setup something which will allow only the administrator to know that the folder exists.
Is this at all possible?
If its possible please share the knowledge on how it is possible.
Thanks in advance.

I've seen executables that extract themselves and run a compressed setup.exe afterwards: a double click on the file uncompresses it and then runs the formerly compressed setup.exe.
How can I accomplish this? I would like to use WinRAR, how can I make a self-extracting executable that runs the compressed setup.exe after unpacking it to a temporary folder?
New Archive, set to SFX mode. Go to Advanced tab, SFX Options button.
General tab, "Run after extraction" textbox. Enter your setup.exe, with relative path if any.
Then go to Modes tab and set it to Temporary mode:
It will not prompt the user if you leave the question fields blank, and you can make it silent with the radio buttons at the bottom.

How can i force Windows XP to delete file that is currently being used by some application?
You have to close that application first. There is no way to delete it, if it's used by some application.
UnLock IT is a neat utility that helps you to take control of any file or folder when it is locked by some application or system. For every locked resource, you get a list of locking processes and can unlock it by terminating those processes. EMCO Unlock IT offers Windows Explorer integration that allows unlocking files and folders by one click in the context menu.
There's also Unlocker (not recommended, see Warning below), which is a free tool which helps locate any file locking handles running, and give you the option to turn it off. Then you can go ahead and do anything you want with those files.
Warning: The installer includes a lot of undesirable stuff. You're almost certainly better off with UnLock IT.
