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.

more than one file at
a time, the Change

on Next to change
those for the next file.
