Roger,

2 Import: SetFileAttributes ( Az Nattib - TF )

it expects a zero terminated file name and a file attribute flag on the
stack

and returns FALSE if it fails.

The file attributes can be OR'd together to set more than one at once.

typical attributes are

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN

FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
