I believe the fourth flag is SYSTEM. Is there a value for that? No, I don't like assumptions. These are the flags manipulated by the DOS "attrib" utility, which also works in a console on most versions of MS-Windows. "attrib +r file.ext" will set the read-only attribute. They also show up at the bottom of the properties dialogue, although SYSTEM is missing there. Yes, they are left over from MS-DOS, but still have some usefulness.
