Using 3.63, the version that comes with the NT/2000 resource kit.

Unfortunately I can't upgrade to a beta version. (not authorized to do so)
Also I have no easy way to upgrade. Kix is loaded to each workstation via a batch file at first logon, then several kix scripts are called from the batch file. (just how it was set up long before I got there)

I'll try that SETFILEATTR command.
