Sorry. Just looks like wildcards here in my post. Of course, FileGetAttr('*') doesn't work at all. To be exact with my issue, assume a specific file x:\any.any, where x: is a mounted, truecrypted NTFS volume. FileGetAttr('x:\any.any') returns -1, i.e. error. After copying x:\any.any to g:\any.any, FileGetAttr('g:\any.any') returns 32, i.e. faArchive. After copying g:\any.any back to x:\any.any, overwriting the previous version, FileGetAttr('x:\any.any') now returns 32, i.e. faArchive as well, as it should have been always, since we never modified the attributes. Trying the same on XP GUI or with attrib.exe on console, I don't see any similar issues.
