You can use the GetAttributes & SetAttributes of the System.IO.File &
System.IO.Directory classes to get & set the attributes of a file or folder.

Alternatively you can use the FileSystemInfo.Attributes property inherited
by the System.IO.FileInfo & System.IO.DirectoryInfo classes. to get & set
the attributes of a file or folder.

As long as you have the path to the folder, yes.

Hope this helps
