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 OS 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.
Settings
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 OS 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 OS restrictions.

Temporary: marks a file as a temporary or not. Temporary files cannot
