Maybe this will help

Private Declare Function SetFileAttributes Lib "kernel32" Alias "SetFileAttributesA" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal dwFileAttributes As Long) As Long

Private Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL = &H80

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim Tmp As Long
Tmp = SetFileAttributes("c:\FILENAME", FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL)

End Sub

there are some others attributes you can set too look in the MSDN - SetFileAttributes
