I have a file on my Windows 7 machine with the attributes of HX. I understand H means hidden, but what does X mean?

I don't have a Windows 7 machine handy, but try asking for help on attrib:

attrib /?

On Windows XP, all the attribute letters are listed in the help.

There are no such attribute specification about X in attrib. check about attrib on wikipidea ..

I got something informative about this from stackover flow question. follow this

the file had the HX attributes set in place); however, the attribute approach lead me nowhere, as I can't find any documented feature on the existence of a file attribute X.

I can't add comment, and this is not so much of an answer. Please visit my question regarding file attribute X on stackoverflow.

Short answer: the file has attribute FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DEVICE 64 (0x40) (link).
