Attributes

This section allows you to specify the attributes of the file on the user’s system.

If selected, the file will have the read-only file attribute set. (This is just like doing "attrib +r" in a DOS prompt.)

If selected, the file will have the system file attribute set. (This is just like doing "attrib +s" in a DOS prompt.)

If selected, the file will have the hidden file attribute set. (This is just like doing "attrib +h" in a DOS prompt.)

This action does not accept wildcards. You can only set the attributes of one file at a time.
If you want to set the attributes of several files at once, try using a "File - Execute" action to run the ATTRIB command, which can accept wildcards in its filename argument. For information on the syntax of the ATTRIB command, type ATTRIB /? in a DOS prompt.
