I've just re-installed Win98SE onto a new hard disk and done all the
Microsoft updates.
In Windows Explorer, right hand file window is set to "Detail" view but I no
longer get a column showing the file attributes (a, h, r, etc).
Any ideas how I can get them into view?
Thanks in advance, John

Here you are ,enjoy!

BRING BACK ATTRIBUTES COLUMN

Active Desktop (Web View) enabled] and Windows 98.
I've noticed that a lot of Win98 users (including myself) are angry
about the missing "Attributes" column in Details mode, Windows
Explorer.
Here's how to fix it:
Fire up your text editor (i.e. Notepad) and cut & paste the following
text into a new file (call it ATTRIB.REG):

-----Begin cut & paste here-----
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"ShowAttribCol"=dword:00000001

------End cut & paste here------

Save your file, exit your text editor, (double)-click on ATTRIB.REG,
answer Yes/OK to all prompts, and then close + restart Windows
Explorer."
