When using the Details view, you can right-click a column heading and check the Attributes item.

To do this via the registry:

1. Copy / Paste the following to a ShowAttrib.reg file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]
"ShowAttribCol"=dword:00000001

2. Merge the ShowAttrib.reg file with your registry or run regedit /s ShowAttrib.reg.
