Preserving the Archive Attribute On A Rename

Is there any way in the settings where I can preserve the archive attribute bit when renaming a file. (I don't want the rename messing with the bit.)

When i rename a file I don't want to flag it to back up again. That would take to much disk space and cause duplicates.

I use the rename dialog box to do this in batch.

Not as far as I know.

Setting the A bit when a file is renamed is something Windows does automatically.

ok thanks.
