Windows 10: Why are these P and U file attributes suddenly appearing?

All I remember for a long time of using Windows was the usual file attributes of A, R, H, S and others that would appear, but I had apps ready to control those, as I don't like irregularities in my file organisation.

And then, when I download a zip archive for an app 48 hours ago, I get reports of strange attribute information in my unzipping tool, 7-Zip, and when unzipped, they manifest in Windows 10 as P and U attributes.

What are these new file attributes? From what I've learned, it's part of OneDrive sharing, and I hear they stand for Pinned and Unpinned (whatever that means), but I don't want anything to do with them, so how can I get rid of them? These attributes seem to be spreading to other files that didn't have them before - I am using an SSD by itself, is it something to do with that?

Please, Windows 10 may be a service now, but I don't want my personal files to be affected by this, especially when no apps (including Windows) can get rid of them. Can you help me?

Remove songs from the ringtones menu of 5800

Arrange your files, do u know about File Management? make folders as below ..



1. Songs (to keep all your songs)

2. Videos (to keep all your video clips)

3. Ringtones (to keep all your alert tones)



In the Windows basics, u need to access to command prompt (CMD) to set attribute for the folder
1. Songs and 2. Videos as a System attribute, Nokia 5800XM wont read system attribute folders.



To set system attribute goto memory card drive letter, eg. E ad type in ..



1. E:\attribute +s Videos (press ENTER)



Now refresh the library in the phone, the clips are gone



Cheers !

 

Looks like some new attributs are showing up.

Pinned and unpinned - some explanations are saying that they prevent or allow files to be purged on low free space status.

Appears to be related to offline files. Some discussion here...
(edit: same link as AndreTen gave earlier)

Only the last one is documented at https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...=vs.85%29.aspx

...my guess is that the "Pinned" flag is used to prevent that the file is purged from local storage when running low on disk space. The "Unpinned" attribute, OTOH, seems to be used to indicate that you want to force that the file is not stored locally.I'm currently investigating how these attributes are used by the new "OneDrive Files On Demand" ...
