I know I can SHO to highlight, but is there a way to hide all routed nets except fot VCC and GND?

Select a signal, open the properties window and flag "airwires hidden".
Read the help about "RATSNEST" you'll find other information about
hiding airwires...

I don't want to hide airwires. I want to hide all *routed* nets, except for VCC and/or GND.
You can only hide layers.
You can't hide routed traces and leave only, say, VCC and GND showing.
You can get SHOW to highlight both simultaneously
SHOW VCC GND
This may be what you are after.
Another option is to make use of the ULP copy-layer-to-any-layer.ulp
Make a new user defined layer, say 100
Use the ULP twice.
First time through copy Layer 1 VCC and GND traces to layer 100
Second time through copy Layer 16 VCC and GND traces to layer 100
You will see VCC and GND much like the higlighting of SHOW. To get a view
like you requested turn off layer 1 and 16. Downside is the problem of
editing layers 1 and 16 after this. It's a bit messy as layer 100 needs to
be managed also.
Another technique that comes to mind is to temporarly change palette colour
for the un-highlighted colour of the layer to one close or equal to the
background. When you go SHOW VCC GND it will be a view close to what you
are asking for.
Trouble is you loose this highlighting of VCC GND as you attempt edits. The
up-side is you can easily get it back with an 'up arrow' if you previously
typed SHOW VCC GND in the command line so in practice it's quite usable.
The downside is you really need a ULP to manage the changing and restore of
the palette colours.
