mp3 help

alright....somehow a heck of a lot of my mp3s got turned into system files. I went to turn them back and they all have the system checkbox grayed out. Is there any way to force them to not be system files anymore or will I have to do it with attrib in DOS?

Thanks for your help!

I don't think this'll stop anything though - the better you idiot-proof a system, the more impressive the idiot becomes.

Umm grainger, you didn't get a virus did you? My friend up there got hit by one a couple of weeks back cuz he was browsing the networks and he had all his mp3's and jpg's turned into other files. So what happens when you click on them? Do they end in .vbs?

yup, loveletter was the one. The thing is, he doesn't have an AV... so all the virus removal had to be done manually.
