I am using Windows 95. If I put commonly accessed files in one place on the
hard disk, speed is increased. Current solution: Move all files from C: to
D:, delete all files on C:, then move them back, in the order desired. My
problem: some files refuse to be deleted off the C drive because Windows
needs them. If I go to DOS, the file attributes for the registry file and
other system files are set to Hidden+Read Only, so DOS refuses to delete
them. Also, then some files will not copy back to C: drive because they are
also hidden. How do I either set a file's attribute so DOS will copy the
files? After setting the attributes, I simply run a batch file I made
consisting of many lines in the format: move <file> <destination> and
everything should go fine.
