Attrib Command Error not resetting system file

When we use attrib command to change read-only or hidden attributes of a system file, we get the error “Not resetting system file“. Examples: E:\>attrib test.txt A  S         E:\test.txt E:\>attrib +R test.txt Not resetting system file - E:\test.txt E:\>attrib +H test.txt Not resetting system file - E:\test.txt E:\> We can fix this problem by adding extra ‘+S ‘ to the attrib command. E:\>attrib +R test.txt Not resetting system file - E:\test.txt E:\>attrib +R +S test.txt E:\>attrib test.txt A  S R       E:\test.txt E:\> To make all hidden files visible & to make all grayed out options re-accessible use below command: E:\>attrib -s -h /s /d
