I am currently running Win2k pro, and I had a virus which turned half of my media files into system files...how do I take the "system" status off of my files?

First, the virus may have destoryed these files that are listed as "system". To my knownledge, you can't reapir them. You may want to check to see what program are opening these files, just in case for some reason windows is opening them up with thewrong program. To check this, go to my computer, tools, folder option, go to the file tab, look at the file (mp3 for example) and see if the file is opening with the right program. My guess is if you can open half of your media files, and not the rest, the ones you can't open are messed up because of the virus.

i apologize if i was unclear...the files still work, but they are labeled as system files...i just want to know how to take the "system" label off of a file.
