Keith,
I unhid system files and, yes, there is a desktop.ini file with the
contents you listed in my folder (the file on the E drive is now named
"Documents" rather than new folder as last night I tried doing the move
over again and this time started with a folder named "Documents"). When
I run each of the attrib commands, however, I get the following:
C:\Users\Bob>e:
E:\>attrib -s "Documents"
Not resetting hidden file - E:\Documents
E:\>attrib -h "Documents"
Not resetting system file - E:\Documents
E:\>attrib +r "Documents"
Not resetting hidden file - E:\Documents
I then copied the contents of the desktop.ini file to the clipboard,
deleted the desktop.ini file and created a new one from the clipboard.
Same thing happens when I try the attrib commands.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again for your help,
Bob L.
