You can use the GetAttributes & SetAttributes of the System.IO.File &
System.IO.Directory classes to get & set the attributes of a file or folder.

Alternatively you can use the FileSystemInfo.Attributes property inherited
by the System.IO.FileInfo & System.IO.DirectoryInfo classes. to get & set
the attributes of a file or folder.

will my program be
able to insert and delete files when this attribute is set.

As long as you have the path to the folder, yes.

Hope this helps
