Hidden/System Files in VB.net

Ok, I realize this isn't really "web" related per say, and therefore somewhat OT, but here goes...

I'm working on a quick VB app that will be able to adjust file attributes (basically a GUI for the dos 'attrib' command- I know, it's a silly project, but I'm trying to get used to VB.net from VB6, and thought this would be a good quick exercise).

Basically, I want to select a file from the OpenFileDialog, which is simple enough in itself, but is there any way to override the Windows Folder Display Settings and force the dialog to display hidden and system files? (Or if not, is there a way to alter the Windows display setting programatically?)

thanks
