OK, time for some WPS/cmd trix:
Drag a new program object from the program object template.
In notebook:

Program: *
Parameters: /C ( attrib -r -h -a -s %* )

Change '-' in command to '+' if you want to leave some attrib on,
 ie ( attrib -r -h +a -s %* )  or leave it out if it should remain
 ie ( attrib -r -h -s %* ).

Check  OS/2 windowed session
Check  Run minimized
Check  Close on exit
Check  Start another

Give it a nice icon . Name your new program object ie 'Set attributes'.
Done!
Place the new 'Attribute object' where you want it.
Drag the file(s) you want to change to the 'Set attributes' icon.

Hope this was what you where looking for.
