====== Change file attributes ======

<file>This code snippet is originally from the former WinAPI site www.winapi.net</file>

Sometimes you need to change the file attributes, e.g. if you want to delete a write-protected file. This function solves this problem:

<code c>#include <windows.h>

SetFileAttributes (TEXT("C:\\filename.txt"), FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL);</code>

The possible attributes can be found in the [[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms891925.aspx|MSDN]].
