    Change file attribute to 'unhide'

    Hello Walt,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the attribute of any file/folder to unhide.

    Step A: Show Hidden files

    1. Open Windows Explorer(win logo key+E) or My computer.

    2. Now click on View on top of the window.
    3. Untick ‘Hidden items’ in the options.

    Step B: Change file attribute

    1. Once the hidden file is located, right click on the file/folder you want to change the attribute for.

    2. Go to ‘properties’, untick the box facing hidden.

    3. Now, Click on ‘apply’ and then ‘ok’.

    Hope it helps.

    Thank You.

    File Attributes automaticly change in Windows 10

    We appreciate updating us. It is also possible that the file attributes automatically changing is because of the application itself every time the file is accessed and the application has full control of it.

    In the meantime, you can try removing the full control of the file by following these steps:

    • Right-click the file then Properties.
    • Select Security tab and click Edit button.
    • Choose checkbox Deny, click Apply then OK and check if the issue still persists.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    How can I add more attribute to the file

    Seeking advice on multiple file attribute changer with preview

    Regularly.. I wish to update the modified dates of files, based on the dates mentioned IN the documents.

    For instance, a list of PDF files, or JPG/PNG files, all in the same folder.

    Right now, the process is like this:
    - open each single file
    - remember the date displayed (or write it down)
    - close the file
    - change the file with some attribute change tool
    - open the next file
    .. and so on.

    Am seeking a tool that:
    -shows the contents of a file
    -so I can change the modified date shown
    then click on [Next] to display the contents of the next file
    and so on.

    I.e. no need to open/close, open/close...remember dates

    Most attribute changers can handle 1 file only, or batch (all having the same date) but do not have preview of the contents.

    Any suggestions?
