5 years and still no NTFS permissions. I wish I could rate this higher but unfortunately my request from 2003 still has yet to come to fruition. Ah well. 3/5 for an otherwise ok attribute manager.

Very fast, simple to operate. Integrates with Windows Explorer as a right-click menu option (don't look for an exe file!). Great options for filtering files and folders. Doesn't try to do a bunch of extra stuff. It isn't clear when the product is doing what you told it to do. (Hint: Click the Reporting tab to see its progress and know when it's done.) You click Apply to change attributes and OK to close the program when it's done. Not intuitive. I liked the product because it easily let me change the system and hidden attributes on thousands of nested files and folders on an NAS device, something that was nearly impossible to do with regular Windows. It was extremely fast, as well. Once I figured out how to work the program, it was simple to operate. But as noted in the Cons section, it is NOT intuitive. Here is what you need to know. First, the program is found on the context mention in Windows Explorer. It is not a standalone program. So right click on a file or folder and find "Change Attributes" in the context menu. Next, you set the program to filter whatever files and folders you want (don't touch anything if you want it to look at all files and folders), choose recursive directories if you want it to process sub-folders, and set, reset, or ignore whatever attributes on files and folders you want. Then, click APPLY, not OK. Clicking OK is what you do AFTER it runs, when you want to close things down. Once you click Apply, the program does what it was told to do. Click the Reporting tab to see its progress. Once you know how to run it, the program is a gem. Thanks to the author for making such a great tool available free of charge!

Was not able to run the program because of the virus Contains a virus. Use at your own risk. I would have expected CNET to scan before posting.

Interface is easy to understand and the integration with Windows Explorer is convenient. Several issues during install with my system security software (Comodo) and red flags even when just opening the Help file, unlike any other App I have used. During use, this app froze my system and could not be terminated at all. Had to reboot. Suggest you look elsewhere - there are both usage issues as well as questionable system security issues with this one. I have uninstalled and cannot recommend this software.

works as advertised none so far works as advertised - and it's freeware not 'free to try'
