View Full Version : File Attributes all set to Nul in error. How can I fix ?

For some unknown reason every single file on my machine (Windows ME) has a file attribute of Null.
I can manually reset the files in each folder to Archive.
But is there an easier way to reset all the files ?
I am not sure how it happened but I was playing around with System Mechanic all day yesterday.
Regards
Digby
PS Is there any possible problem if I leave my all files with no attributes ?

Thanks Vargas !
As an old Doshead myself I should have thought of that !
Just as an aside, do you know how to access long folder names in DOS ?
I had the need the other to delete a Trojan Horse hidden way down in some long sub folder names and I could not get to them in Dos or Windows as they were hidden !
Happy New Year

not sure i understand the question, but...
short filenames: start>run>command
long filenames: start>run>cmd
