I just had a support issue where the hidden+system flags had been set
on a DBF.  Windows explorer hides system files by default so they
thought it was deleted...  I talked them through the attrib command.

I've no idea how the system flag was set as AFAIK it's not possible to
change in Windows Explorer...  Worse, if the system flag is set you
cannot remove hidden (it's ghosted).
