Aptiva-PS/1 - How do I use the ATTRIB command?
Applicable to: United States
The ATTRIB command is executed from the DOS command prompt. You can modify the ATTRIB command's parameters so that it only changes the attribute that you want. You can also use it to display a file's attribute without changing it in any way.
The syntax for the command is as follows:
ATTRIB [parameters] [drive:] [path] [filename]
ATTRIB COMMAND PARAMETERS ARE:
+r turns on the read-only attribute of a file.
-r turns off the read-only attribute of a file.
+a turns on the archive bit of a file.
-a turns off the archive bit of a file.
+s turns on the system attribute of a file.
-s turns off the system attribute of a file.
+h turns on the hidden attribute of a file.
-h turns off the hidden attribute of a file.
drive: -specifies the drive where the file(s) to be changed is located
path - specifies the directory where the file(s) can be located
filename - specifies the file(s) whose attribute is to be changed
Example: To hide your CONFIG.SYS you would type:
ATTRIB +H C:\CONFIG.SYS
