The option to 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives' enables users to view content that is normally not visible in the file system. This is crucial for users who need access to system files or configuration settings.
Whereas, selecting 'Don't show hidden files, folders, or drives' would prevent those items from being visible. The option to 'Hide extensions for known file types' manages file extension visibility but does not influence the visibility of hidden files.
