How can I change the Hidden Attribute of a file/folder? (Alternative to attrib FILENAME -h)

Solution 1:

Have a look at fatattr Install fatattr if the disc is vfat.

FAT filesystems contain several attributes which do not map cleanly onto Unix attributes; this utility allow these to be controlled directly by unprivileged users on any mounted FAT partition.

Syntax is

fatattr [+-hsra] [files]

The letters are...

h hidden
s system
r read only
a archive
