HEELPBOOK - Microsoft Windows – Attrib (Command) “Not resetting system file” ##################


When we use attrib command to change read-only or hidden attributes of a system file, we get the error “Not resetting system file“.


E:\>attrib test.txt
A  S         E:\test.txt

E:\>attrib +R test.txt
Not resetting system file – E:\test.txt

E:\>attrib +H test.txt
Not resetting system file – E:\test.txt

E:\>


We can fix this problem by adding extra ‘+S‘ to the attrib command.


E:\>attrib +R test.txt
Not resetting system file – E:\test.txt

E:\>attrib +R +S test.txt

E:\>attrib test.txt
A  S R       E:\test.txt

E:\>
