Attribute Changer is a powerful Windows Explorer Extension. It's available at your fingertips whenever you right-click on files, folders, and even drives in Windows Explorer.

The tool is loaded with exciting features and helps you manage your day to day tasks in Microsoft Windows.

Want to make your files read-only to protect them against modifications or need to force a new backup version of a particular file without modifying the contents.

The possibilities are endless. Attribute Changer can modify the standard attributes like ReadOnly, Hidden, Archive, System, Compress, and Index on files and folders.

Name and extension case of files and folders can be easily converted from uppercase to lowercase and vice versa, an interesting feature if you store your data on case-sensitive filesystems (such as Linux based NAS systems).

Attribute Changer can modify photo information (EXIF) by manually entering date and time values or you can choose to synchronize info with time stamps and file date. More advanced options such as modifying detailed parts of date and time stamps are available if needed.

File and folder filters instruct AttributeChanger to exclude or include objects based on multiple criteria, such as attributes, date, time, size, and file or folder name wildcards.

Ranges can be defined for most of them. Multiple criteria can be grouped together to create a set of conditions to be applied to files and folders.

All 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11 are supported. and it integrates with many popular third-party file managers.
