Properties
Purpose: You can change the file's
attributes that appear on both Windows Explorer in list view and on the Windows
properties tab dialog box. Not all options are always available (depends on the
O/S used) and some of them are read-only. To view the current attributes of a
file, choose Anatomy or Properties from Hackman's File
menu.
Read Only: no write is allowed to read-only files.
Hidden: won't show up (unless the system is configured to show all files)
System: the O/S will treat this file as a vital system file
Archive: shows whether the file should be archived or not (used
by certain programs)
Elliptic: unavailable for public, cannot be changed due to O/S restrictions.
Volume: this is just a monitor (read-only) property and as elliptic
cannot be changed for a file (O/S limitation).
Temporary: marks a file as a temporary or not. Temporary files cannot
have other attributes.
Compressed: system compressed files (NT only). Property cannot change
from Hackman.
Pressing Ok will change the attributes, Cancel will ignore any changes made.
