I found out that about 99.9% of the files on our company shared drive have the Archive attribute set. I need to remove that attribute from all files on that drive, so that they aren't included as 'modified' files when I try to run Robocopy. I'm using the following command from an elevated command prompt:attrib -a D:\*.* /sHowever, when I run it, I get error messages on every hidden file.Not resetting hidden file - <FILEPATH>I need to remove this attribute from absolutely every file on this drive, but I also don't want to unhide all of the hidden items in order to do that. Is there a way
