    Windows 10 folder attribute


    What does it mean between
    A no mark
    B square mark and
    C V mark
    in Windows 10 folder attribute "read only only applies to files in folder"?

    I ask this because I see that all my folders has B,

    and every time I try to do A or C it always coming back to B.

    I've googled it but I'm unable to find the answer of my question above.
    So, this is not a question on how to solve B keep coming back.

    I'd be glad if someone can explain me something like this :
    With A condition, if.... then....
    With B condition, if.... then...
    With C condition, if.... then...

    Any kind of respond is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advanced.

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Folder attributes/customization lost on copy or move in Windows 10 1607 (Anniversary Update)

    This is a head-scratcher for sure!

    Create a folder (say, TestFolder) and at the command-line use
    attrib +r TestFolder     or attrib +s TestFolder to set read-only or system attributes for the folder. Then in File Explorer:

    Windows 10 1511
    (10586.589)

    • Make a copy of the folder with attributes +R/+S on the same partition - Copy has
      same attributes set as the original
    • Make a copy of the folder with attributes +R/+S on a different partition - Copy has
      same attributes set as the original
    • Move the folder with attributes +R/+S elsewhere on the same partition - Folder still has
      same attributes set as before
    • Move the folder with attributes +R/+S to a different partition - Folder still has
      same attributes set as before

    Windows 10 1607 (14393.222 & Preview Build
    14936)

    • Make a copy of the folder with attributes +R/+S on the same partition - Copy
      loses       attributes of the original
    • Make a copy of the folder with attributes +R/+S on a different partition - Copy
      loses attributes of the original
    • Move the folder with attributes +R/+S elsewhere on same partition - Folder still has
      same attributes set as before
    • Move the folder with attributes +R/+S to a different partition - Folder
      loses       attributes it had before

    Besides the purely puzzling nature of the change in behavior, this has direct repercussions because it means customized folders (with non-default icons for example) lose their customization on being copied/moved in Windows 10 1607. This is because for desktop.ini
    to work folders needs to have either the +R or +S attribute set.

    • What is the reason for this breaking change and has it been announced anywhere?
    • How can we revert back to the behavior of Windows 10 1511 (and previous Windows versions going back to Windows 7 and probably earlier)?
    • If it is indeed a bug in Windows 10 1607 then when will it be fixed?

    Update (Feb. 10, 2017): The bug finally
    seems to be fixed     in Insider Preview build 15019 but the fix hasn't been pushed out to previous Windows 10 versions (1507/1511/1607) yet.
