Cannot change attributes read-only files, by updating the drivers help Driver Whiz from HP.

Original title: change file attributes

I'm updating some drivers help Driver Whiz from HP.  The new drivers download but will not be installed.  Apparently, I need to remove the read-only file attributes, but no matter what I do it continues to change the next time I have access to the file to read-only.  Any ideas?

    I can't remove the read-only my files (at least in the photos).  It is provided with a solid box, not a check mark and I can't remove it.  I need to edit and print photos, and I don't know what to do.  The only software I have installed is a HP printer wireless on my home network.

    Hi HeatherSt,
     
    -Have you noticed this change after you install HP printer software?
    -Were you able to edit photos without any problems before?
    Is there another account administrator user on your computer?
     
    Note: It is possible that change a read-only file can cause a program that relies on the file to stop working properly, so be sure that it's okay to change a read-only file before you proceed.
     
    Cannot change files read-only, but they can be copied, moved, renamed, or deleted. Therefore, try to Rename the file or perform one of these operations and check if that helps.

  • Cannot modify READ ONLY file attributes using the administrator account

    I tried the windows Explorer and a custom program called Directory Opus. I tried to create several administrator accounts, but not luck.

    I can't work with this existing problem.

    I need a solution.

    I have exactly the same problem.  Following the steps above did not work, folders/subfolders unchangeable rest.  I am the owner of the folder and subfolders.  I don't know yet how they became Read-Only to start.  Read-only on the individual files setting works correctly.  Changing the settings of file does not work.

    IMPORTANT EDIT:

    According to a message from the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    You cannot view or change the read-only or system attributes
    To summarize, Windows does not include system or read-only folders settings (he was aware of these properties on the FILES however).  Individual applications that you use cannot ignore the State of read-only on a folder and can give an error.  In my situation, an application was trying to create a new file in a folder that has been marked read-only and honored the RO parameter and refuses to try to create the new file.

    To actually change these attributes, properties menu will not work.  The KB source:

    • If you click apply changes to this folder only , the read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder. However, the read-only attribute is not changed for the folder, its subfolders or files in its subfolders. If you click apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files , the read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder and all files in the subfolders. However, the read-only attribute is not changed for the folder or its subfolders.

    To change these properties, the user must start a Terminal command line and execute the changes by hand, for example, this command:

    • attrib - r + s c:\test

    .. What will remove the READ ONLY parameter and apply the SYSTEM setting in the folder.  Once more, change the properties of files (including files in subfolders) works as expected with the right click - Properties-> Security menu.

  • How can I change the attributes read-only or system files?

    How can I change the attributes read-only or system files?

    To view or to remove the read-only or system attributes, use the Attrib command at a command prompt:

    1. click the Start button, type cmd in the search box and press ENTER.

    2. to view the syntax for the Attrib command, Type attrib------? at the command prompt.

    WARNING: If you remove the read-only or a file system attribute, it may seem like a regular folder and some customizations may be lost. For example, Windows customizes the Fonts folder and provides a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, customize the folder properties dialog box, the folder icon and other other customizations may be lost when you remove the read-only attribute.

    If a program cannot save files to a folder with read-only, such as My Documents, change the read-only to the system attribute by using the Attrib command at a command prompt.

    To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

    attrib - r + s drive:------------.

    For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command: attrib - r + s c:\test

    Be aware that some programs may not work correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. You can use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r-s c:\test

  • cannot deactivate an attribute read-only on a folder

    Hello

    I have a folder with the read-only attribute marked with a blue square and tagged (applies only to files in the folder).

    When I try to delete it, he's going right through to the subfolders and files, but ultimately the blue square is always there.

    I am the owner of the folder and have full permission.

    I also tried with the attrib command, but that has not changed anything.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi stefca,

    By default, the attributes: read-only (applies only to files and folders) will be there. Although the subfolders in the main folder would have access to read and write.

    Also if you want to remove the permission to read the file, then you must change the permissions. Follow the steps for the same:

    i. right click on the folder

    II. Select Properties

    III. Select Security tab.

    IV. click on edit

    v. check the Deny option to read.

    VI. click on apply, and then click OK

  • Read-only files

    I work in a company as a junior web developer framework. Of the organization that I work a large site that is run by my team, but we also employees in the different divisions (KC) update their own sections of the site.

    Since I started working here, we were faced with a problem of our files being changed to 'Read only' after their verification using Dreamweaver. Since we have cuts of KC also updated the site, they send me several times a week asking me to change the permissions of the file they would like to work. I looked everywhere for a solution to this but have had no luck. I hope that someone else has had this problem before or would be able to point me in the right direction.

  • Backup error ReadyNas DUO - «read only file system»

    Hello community,

    I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night, it is running a backup job that copies a file from a computer on the local network to the NAS itself. What often happens is after a reboot for a while, things work sometimes days, sometimes weeks. But then I get e-mails warning that contains journal like entries:

    CP: cannot create the file ' / backup/projecten/./CAM_strip/01_v0.1.JPG': read-only file system

    Usually this warning is given for each file (which means thousands) so that emails are big enough. And obviously the backup has not been made. I tried to solve this problem and sought similar questions on this forum and on the web, but nothing helped. I can't identify what is the cause.

    Maybe you could help me the grace to some of the run settings, I can tinker too. I guess it has something to do with the ownership and rights to access these files and folders.

    Thank you!

    Hello Miss,

    Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same behavior in read-only?

    Forward to your response.

  • How to read two files (one updates every second, the other is constant) simoltaneously

    Dear all,

    I'd appreciate if someone help me.

    I want to read two files, one is the temperature that updates every second, and the other is energy hysteresis that has specific lines and is constant.

    I had a program in the discussion forum to read a file as it is updated. I checked this program in my case and it works.

    Then I added playback file hysteresis energy to the existing file. But while I run the program, the energy hysteresis file is read with all the lines.

    But the goal is that every time the updates of the temperature, I need to read a line of the file hysteresis energy.

    in this way every second, so, I have a new temperature data and a row of the other file.

    I tried to use 'for loop' inside the program, but it did not work, because the temperature reading will stop until that end of the loop.

    I joined the program.

    Could someone help me how read only a row of hysteresis energy file every time that the temperature updated?

    IS that what you wanted to achieve?

  • File.copyTo (result): read-only files

    Hello

    Long story short: I want to copy the files in the directory 'active' of my project (i.e. File.applicationDirectory) in a folder where the user can modify these files (i.e. File.documentsDirectory).

    I use File.copyTo () and it works fine, but the copied files are read-only and the user can modify.

    For a temporary workaround I just read and write FileStream and ByteArray, files but I do not like this solution.

    Any other ideas? This is the expected behavior of copyTo()? Is it possible to change the properties of the file (i.e. to change a read-only to writable file)?

    Thank you.

    I expect that be appropriate behavior because the file was read-only to the assets during conditioning. The permissions of files is a thing of OS, so you can listen to as you did of assets to the shared (instead of use copyTo) area or you can probably create a DONKEY to change permissions. If the files are small, the easiest would be to distribute the file as you said.
