To change folder Attribute

open a command prompt window and type in "ATTRIB ['file path']\['file name'] -s -h"

For Example: "ATTRIB C:\USERS\ADMIN\DOWNLOADS\7z920-x64.msi -S -H" and press enter.

You can also use a wildcard (*)

For example: "ATTRIB C:\USERS\ADMIN\DOWNLOADS\FILE* -S -H" and this selects every file in that path that starts with "FILE".

replace "-" with a "+" to add the above attributes to a file.
