This technique
even displays system and hidden files.
/S
Processes files that match the file specification in the current directory and all subdirectories.
/D
Processes the directories as well as the files that match the file specification.
/L
Processes the attributes of a symbolic link, rather than the symbolic link??™s target.
You can also use the Attrib utility to locate files with a specific attribute. It works much the same
as the
Dir
(directory) command at the command prompt, but the focus is on the attributes, rather
than other file or folder information. To test this command, open a command prompt in the root
directory (the uppermost directory) of your C drive, type
Attrib *.*
at the command prompt, and
press Enter. You??™ll see a list of all of the files in the root directory, along with their associated
attributes. For example, many of the files will have an
A
for archive next to them. Some files, such
as
ntldr
, will have the
S
(system),
H
(hidden), and
R
(read-only) attributes.
It??™s possible to view and change the attributes (except system) for a file using Windows
Explorer. To change an attribute, right-click the file and choose Properties from the context menu.
