      Change file attributes the easy way.

         Make files hidden, read only, normal, etc.


    format CHMOD pathname\filename.ext xx

           where xx is a 2 digit hex code.

                 xx is:
                        01 read only
                        02 hidden file
                        04 system file
                        10 sub directory
                        20 archive (normal file)

    Use any combination of digits.

        Ex.
            chmod test.txt 01   ** Makes test.txt read only     **
            chmod test.txt 02   ** Makes test.txt hidden        **

            chmod test.txt 01
            chmod test.txt 02   ** Makes test.txt hidden and read only **

            chmod test.txt 20   ** Makes test.txt a normal file **

        Here is the fun one!!!!
        -----------------------

        You can hide a sub directory BUT all files in the sub directory
       are normal.

        Great for hiding sub directory's of important information instead
       of hiding every file in a sub directory.

        Assume you have created a sub directory called test.

       Ex.
           chmod test 02  ** Makes sub directory hidden **
           chmod test 20  ** Makes sub directory back to normal **

           chmod test\test.txt 02 ** Makes test.txt hidden while
                                     in root directory **

           chmod test\test.txt 20 ** Makes test.txt a normal file
                                     while in root directory **
