This is something *nix folks have had all the time—the Attributes of files and folders. In Windows, if you want to see the file and folder attributes in Detailed View in Explorer, you’ll need to use this hack.
Navigate to:
HCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Explorer\ Advanced
Set the DWORD Value called ShowAttribCol to 1 to enable a spanking new “Attributes” column.
