Changing Information about Files and Folders
When you create a file or folder, you can add one of the following attributes
to it, depending on your needs:
• Read-Only means that the file cannot be changed; it can only be
read.
Archive is a DOS attribute that tracks which files have been modified
since their last backup. When the file is backed up (using DOS
commands on a DOS-based computer), the archive attribute is
removed. If the file is modified, DOS turns the archive attribute back
on.
• Hidden means that the file is not normally displayed in File Manager.
• System means that the file is used by the system to execute
programs.
• Template means that the file is saved as a template, which allows
you to use the formatting as a basis to create other, similar files.
