The Archive attribute is a flag that can be read by the system or other programs. It is almost always used to show if the file has been backed up or not. A brand-new file will have the Archive attribute set. Backup programs can be configured to clear the Archive attribute when the file is backed up.
Makes no difference to anything else.
