I don't know - its not clear from the documentation. Someone has to
test it on FAT. However this combined with an an call to
SetFileAttributes () before it should be sufficient.
Btw the snippet below
Ok, I've tested it on my WinXP Home on NTFS, FAT and FAT32. The
following snippet removes the file no matter the filesystem
(the Get/SetFileAttributes is required for FAT/FAT32 only):
HANDLE hFile;
DWORD dwAttr = GetFileAttributes (test.dat);
SetFileAttributes (test.dat, dwAttr
One thing I'm not clear on - are both calls -required-?

2002/05/15 11:26:13 Failed to open cygfile:///usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xman.help for wr
iting.
.. and many others like this.

Sorry, for spamming the mail list :(
It wasn't spam. I think that the NTFS changes may well be needed
