[BUG] Settings > Explorer > View - Show protected operating system files setting is inverted

As title...

- In Win 10 it's actually called "Hide protected Operating System files (Recommended)", so maybe rename option to "Hide..." so it matches up with OS naming.

If you rename it to "Hide...", then nothing else needs to be done. If you don't rename it, then the logic is inverted - ie. "Show..." set to Enabled results inthe protected files being hidden, and vice-versa.

I'd go with renaming it.
 
Except the previous three settings are all View - Show [...]. matching what Explorer lists.
While your notion is technically correct, not inverting Protected files will cause confusion for breaking the pattern.
 
Maybe keep it as "Show..." then, but have NTLite automagically correct it. in the background.

I think it's more confusing to have an option that says "Show..." which, when enabled doesn't result in them being shown, but actually hides those files.
