Hi guys, users ask how could they search files on a file server by thier custom attributes. Is it possible? And for not creating similar topic: is it possible in Windows XP?

Hi, Would you please let me know what operating system is on the file server? If the uses want to search by attributes? If so, they could use dir command. Example: Cd <path to your file server> Dir /a:h D Directories R Read-only files H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving S System files I Not content indexed files L Reparse Points - Prefix meaning not Or add Attributes column in Windows Explorer. Right click Name column and choose More, find Attributes options.
