Change Attributes handles batch-modification of file attributes on the fly, but this freeware isn't a stand-alone program. The basic interface contains only a few tick boxes and dropdown buttons, and proves easy to understand despite the missing Help file. It's a simple process to change the date and time the file was created, modified, and last accessed. You also can set the file attributes to archive, read-only, hidden, and system. In our tests, Change Attributes performed fast, and we were impressed with the capability to change the attributes of folders as well. However, Change Attributes only works as an add-on for Useful File Utilities. If you already have the main program, Change Attributes is an easy-to-use and no-cost way to modify file and folder attributes.

What’s new in version 1.5

Possibility to change any of the three dates into each other was added;Possibility to save additional parameters in INI file was added.

Displays this: Warning! Installation aborted!!! "Change Attributes V1.5" is a plugin and it require [that way in the original] program "Useful File Utilities". If "Useful File Utilities" is not installed ... you can not install "Change Attributes V1.5". [Refers to ReplSoft homepage] Also you can directly download it if you press to [that way in original] the following button." Could very well download malware, so not safe.

This is a plug in for another program - nothing wrong with that, BUT why don't they mention that in the description..? The lack of honesty says "stay away" to me.
Summary
A scam.

Pros
Nothing.
Cons
It's listed as free, but the first thing it does is demand that you install another piece of code that costs $30. Classic bait and switch. Run away.

Pros
Cons
This is a "plug-in". It is not usable without downloading other software that you pay for.
Summary
What a waste of time and disk space!
eidelbusNovember 25, 2007
Pros
Absolutely NOTHING.
Cons
It's downright insulting to filter by free licenses, then be mislead into thinking this program is freeware. As the other review points out, which the CNet review only alludes to, it requires the "main" $30 program to work. <p> <p>"No limitations" -- yeah, right. It's not worth paying $30 to batch-rename a few files. What a waste of time and disk space. I want my electrons back.
Summary
This in an ADD-On that REQUIRES a $30 program to work!

"Change Attributes" v1.2 is an Add-on that Requires a $30 program named "Useful File Utilities" for it to work! Stay away from ReplSoft - they use FALSE ADVERTISING!
