    Windows 10 Changes My Audio File Attribute Settings


    Window 10

    Audacity is my sound file app..


    Last night I winnowed down audio file lists to just Name and Date Created and Size.


    Today Windows has tossed out my work and replaced my Column Heading layout with #, Title, Contributing Artist, and Album.


    What is going on? How can I stop this?

    Thanks for any thoughts.

    :)

    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.

    Windows 10 Changes My Audio File Attribute Settings

    changing file and folder attributes

    Continuing the theme of changing attributes....
    i now realise that certain file attributes can’t be user defund, as they are read only....
    But it seems gilders are even worse.....I have 12 folders January to December.......but windows list these alphabetically......such that April is first followed by August.

    cant see any way of changing the sort order, although there may be a way to sort by an attribute, but it seems that It is NOT possible to assign ANY folder attributes......nothing much has changed in this matter since XP....

    unless anyone one knows differently
