Problem

Solutions: If a customer is getting the error message "Access Denied" in List Files while trying to move or delete a file, or the error message "Can't Rename File" when renaming a file, then the file has possibly been protected with the ATTRIB command on a network. The ATTRIB command automatically assigns Rename-Inhibited and Delete-Inhibited attributes to the file. An attribed file on a stand-alone computer, however, inherits only the attributes of Delete-Inhibited and Read-Only. This allows the file to be renamed, but still retains any other attributes previously assigned to that file. If a customer wants the ability to delete an attribed file, or to terminate the assigned attributes, they must exit to DOS, change to the directory where the file resides, type Attrib - . For example, type Attrib -R filename (where R is the Read-Only attribute).
