| Bob Rivers you say.
| This is the clue I needed to have the file delete its system attribute!
| What a champion you are in a round about way.
| What I did since I didn't know if it was a Bob Rivers song was to play it
in
| the MusicMatch Juke Box. I then did Edit Track Tag to see if it is Bob
| Rivers.
| It didn't say there if it was or not but in so doing I changed a text
detail
| to Apply to the track tag, saved and wow, it lost not only the system
| attribute but the hidden attribute as well.
| I tried it with another mp3 and again success.
| I did enjoy your direction with the Command Prompt together with facts
| listed in help and support. I just could not get it to work that way but
it
| was certainly interesting.
| I made note of the procedure using Command Prompt and I will value that.
| Thanks Will, you were very helpful. I am certainly glad you asked about
the
| artist. Talk about a laugh!
| Cheers,
| Phil
