I would get surprized if you could, taking into consideration the fact that
CreateFile() ignores 'dwFlagsAndAttribute' if you use it for opening the
existing files - this parameter matters only if you are creating a new file.
If you want to change the attributes of some existing file, then you have to
use SetFileAttributes(). In any case, it is not going to work with volumes or
devices.....
