- Summary:
-
- The Windows NT NTFS file system maintains FAT-style (that is,
- MS-DOS-style) file attributes as well as Windows NT security
- information. Unlike NTFS permissions, which are particular to a
- specific user or group of users, FAT attributes are global for all
- users.
-
- When you store a file on an NTFS drive with Windows NT, you can set
- its NTFS permissions by using the Permissions option of the Security
- menu in File Manager. You can set FAT style attributes (read-only,
- hidden, system, and archive) by choosing Properties from the File menu
- of File Manager or from an MS-DOS command prompt with the ATTRIB
- command. FAT attributes are maintained separately and are not listed
- in the Permissions dialog box.
-
- Note: FAT attributes take precedence over NTFS attributes. If a user
- has Full Access (NTFS) privileges to a particular file but the read-
- only (FAT) attribute is enabled, the user cannot modify or delete the
- file until the read-only attribute is disabled. Any FAT attributes set
- before a file is copied from FAT or HPFS drives to an NTFS drive are
- copied as well.
