Hello all,
I wanted to know how to change the attributes or a file or directory using C++ (hidden, archive, read-only, etc.).
Thanks in advance.

What exactly do you want to know? If you're looking for the modes with which you can choose e.g. fopen()'s access to a file, look here. Or do you want to access files using ShellExecute()?

Sometimes words ain't enough to express something. That's why computer scientists use double words.

I guess I wasn't clear enough. I want to change a file's (or a directory's) attributes (example to make it read-only or make it hidden, etc.) using C++.

What attributes exist for a file depend on the OS.
