Actually, the flag can be cleared (usually by a backup program, for
incremental or differential backups). Now, I don't think (but could be
wrong) that this flag is still used actively, even by backup programs (a
database would probably be their best bet know, with a signature of the
file).

In Wine, the flag is only "set" when a program wants to know the
attributes of a file; elsewhere, the attribute is non existent. So I
guess it can stay that way.

Insyde, does the Archive flag is one of the differences you saw? BTW,
FAT32 or NTFS?
