Re: CHANGE ATTRIBUTES

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

When I want to change a file's attributes I go into command mode by
Start>Run and then enter 'cmd' and click OK,

Navigate to the directory you want by using 'cd' (change directory).

Then I use 'attrib'. Enter 'attrib /?' for details of how to use it.

Hope this helps.
