Which folder artibutes does the Windows Explorer hide?
2 Answers
The Windows Explorer will hide files with the hidden
attribute unless you select the option Show hidden files, folders, and drives
under Organize > Folder and search options > View
. It will hide files with the system
attribute unless you uncheck the box Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
in the same dialog.

1Yes. The other attributes don't affect display of a file or folder. Sep 9, 2012 at 20:43
Windows Explorer can show all attributes, it depends on what view you're in and what columns you have selected.
Add the "attributes" column to your current view, and it will show you all the attributes.
R Read-only file attribute.
A Archive file attribute.
S System file attribute.
H Hidden file attribute.
I Not content indexed file attribute.
