File system attributes

Post by *Stefan2 »

Do you have google there where you live?

That is a default attribute of your used file system, nothing special to TC.


Let me google that for you:

https://serverfault.com/questions/34692/windows-file-and-folder-attributes-a-or-c

Code: Select all

Prior to windows 8/10 the attributes were:

R = READONLY
H = HIDDEN
S = SYSTEM
A = ARCHIVE 
C = COMPRESSED
N = NOT INDEXED
L = Reparse Points
O = OFFLINE
P = Sparse File
I = Not content indexed
T = TEMPORARY
E = ENCRYPTED
and from there further to:

https://superuser.com/questions/1214542/what-do-new-windows-8-10-attributes-mean-no-scrub-file-x-integrity-v-pinn/1215034

Code: Select all

 
I just opened help for ATTRIB command on Windows 10.0.15063, and found out that there are new attributes I didn't know about.

>attrib /?

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [+O | -O] [+I | -I] [+P | -P] [+U | -U]

Interesting. Here on W732 I only have

Code: Select all

C:\Users\User>attrib /?

ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A ] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [+I | -I]

  +   Setzt ein Attribut.
  -   Löscht ein Attribut.
  R   Attribut für 'Schreibgeschützte Datei'
  A   Attribut für 'Zu archivierende Datei'
  S   Attribut für 'Systemdatei'

Thanks for all the answers!
Sorry for the delay.
I couldn't login to my account here, after trying to change the password.
Then I read about Gmail problems in Total Commander, and made a new account on yahoo. It seems to work.

By the way, Is there any solution to this Gmail problem with TC?
