ReadOnly1 The file is read-only.

System4 The file is a system file. The file is part of the operating system or is used exclusively by the operating system.
Directory16 The file is a directory.
Archive32 The file's archive status. Applications use this attribute to mark files for backup or removal.
Device64 Reserved for future use.
Normal128 The file is normal and has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.
Temporary256 The file is temporary. File systems attempt to keep all of the data in memory for quicker access rather than flushing the data back to mass storage. A temporary file should be deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed.

NotContentIndexed8192 The file will not be indexed by the operating system's content indexing service.
