attrib: Display all set attributes of files in a specific directory.
$ attrib ${path\to\directory}
try on your machine
The command "attrib" in Windows is used to display or modify the attributes of a file or directory. In the provided command, "${path\to\directory}" should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to work with. For example, if the directory you want to modify is located at "C:\Users\Username\Documents", the command would be: attrib C:\Users\Username\Documents This command will display the current attributes of the specified directory. The attributes can include the following: - H: Hidden file attribute
- S: System file attribute
- R: Read-only file attribute
- A: Files ready for archiving attribute If any of these attributes are enabled for the directory, they will be displayed in the command prompt window. To modify the attributes of a directory, you can use additional parameters with the "attrib" command. For example, to remove the "read-only" attribute from a directory, you can use the following command: attrib -r C:\Users\Username\Documents The "-r" parameter is used to remove the "read-only" attribute. Keep in mind that modifying file attributes may require administrative privileges, and it's important to use caution when changing these settings.
