The file is compressed.

Device = 64

Reserved for future use.

Directory = 16

The file is a directory.

Encrypted = 16384

The file or directory is encrypted. For a file, this means that all data in the file is encrypted. For a directory, this means that encryption is the default for newly created files and directories.

Hidden = 2

The file is hidden, and thus is not included in an ordinary directory listing.

Normal = 128

The file is normal and has no other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.

The file is read-only.

ReparsePoint = 1024

The file contains a reparse point, which is a block of user-defined data associated with a file or a directory.

System = 4

The file is a system file. The file is part of the operating system or is used exclusively by the operating system.

Temporary = 256

The file is temporary. File systems attempt to keep all of the data in memory for quicker access rather than flushing the data back to mass storage. A temporary file should be deleted by the application as soon as it is no longer needed.
