Use the ATTRIB command.
For example, ATTRIB +/-R +/-H followed by the file
＋ and － mean add and remove R is the read-only attribute H is the hidden attribute
You can also type ATTRIB/? to see its help

I want to change the read-only attribute of msdos.sys under DOS, but the screen shows Not resetting system file c:\msdos.sys
Why is that?

Do it like this
attrib msdos.sys -r -s -h
Then add whatever attributes you want.

The following is quoted from Michael's post on 2004-4-24 22:37:06:
Do it like this
attrib msdos.sys -r -s -h
Then add whatever attributes you want.
You got it backwards
It should be
attrib -r -s -h msdos.sys

Isn't it the same?
