Cannot change the properties of 'read only' files in xp

Recently, I was not able to change the properties of 'read only' to my files. I click on 'Properties', uncheck the 'read only', press on apply, click OK. When I re - check the records they come up to 'read only' again. I can't find a way around it. It has stopped me to back up files, since I get the message that the files are 'read only' and cannot be changed.
All solutions?
Thank you

The read-only attribute has never been applicable to files under XP. You can try to take ownership of files/folders instead.

  • Cannot change the properties of some mp3 files.

    I right click on a file and go to properties, then detalis everything is empty beside the property tab and I can't enter anything in value, and read-only is unchecked.

    Are you sure these are MP3 files and not another type, such as WAV? Please verify this by checking the file type in the file properties- general tab.

    Have you tried to reboot the PC? If you start Windows in clean boot mode, can change you the fields then?

    Also, please check if you can still edit the tags of the files with an editor of tags like Mp3tag owners.

  • Error unknown 0x88982F50 when you try to change the properties of a JPEG file in the Windows Photo Gallery

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack1 and use Windows Photo Gallery to managemy photos. I like the fact that I can integrate tags and ratings in JPEG files.

    I just noticed though, that the tag is no longer to be stored in the JPEG file. I know because when I saw the properties of the file tag information I have in the Windows Photo Gallery is not present. If I try to change the properties directly, I get an error message stating:

    An unexpected error prevented the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem: 0x88982F50 error: No. Error Description available.

    I checked the file isn't read-only etc.

    I searched Microsoft.com for this error and have found no help. I searched the internet and have seen many forums to raise this issue, but I can't find a solution.

    Note that when I try to fix an image in Windows (eye of harvest/red etc.) Photo Gallery, I also get an error that says I can't save the changes.

    For me, it looks like a component is faulty or missing, but how is it resolved?

  • Cannot change the properties of the image

    Hi, hoping someone can help

    I'm adding a lot of images on my site and was eager to improve SEO so wanted to change the properties of the image so I can fill in the Tooltip and text replacement with some additional information. If I put an image on the page I can right click and change the properties, however if I used the fill option and added image for it, make a right click on the image of the page does not provide an option to edit images. Is there a another way to change the properties of the image using the fill option? My site is sceicnenewsbreak.com if necessary

    see you soon

    Garry

    Unfortunately no, the picture fill properties cannot be configured by clicking on the content. Please do not hesitate to add your suggestion in our ideas section.

  • Cannot change the properties of the Module of the Application.

    Hi all
    I'm trying to modify the properties of the module of my Application in Jdeveloper 11.1.13. I perform the following steps:

    (1) right click module the application and select "Configurations".
    (2) select the existing TestModuleLocal and click 'change '.
    (3) following clik the "Properties tab and try to change the property of jbo.ampool.sessioncookiefactoryclass.
    4) click the column value of the jbo.ampool.sessioncookiefactoryclass property and change 'oracle.jbo.common.ampool.DefaultSessionCookieFactory' to ' test. DynamicJDBCSessionCookieFactory' and press enter
    5) click OK and OK

    The changes are not reflected and return to the original "oracle.jbo.common.ampool.DefaultSessionCookieFactory".

    Thank you

    Just check with 11.1.1.4.0 and it works fine.
    Always on 11.1.1.3.0, I can reproduce this. I guess it's a bug in 11.1.1.3.0.

    As a work around you can add the following line to the bc4j.xcfg file

    
    
    ...
    
    

    then replace xxxx by the class representing your plant.

    You will find the thew file if you double click on the module of the application, click on the 'Configuration' tab and click the bc4j.xcfg link.

    No matter what reason, why you are not using 11.1.1.4.0?

  • Change the attribute to read-only by using ClientListener?

    Hello friends of the forum...

    I created a form with two INPUTTEXT and put them with read-ONLY using an EL made reference to a BEAN called GENERAL Manager

    < af:panelFormLayout binding = "#{backingBeanScope.backing_Layout2.panelFormLayout1}" id = "panelFormLayout1" > "
    < af:inputText value = "#{bindings." Modulo.inputValue}"binding =" #{backingBeanScope.backing_Layout2.inputText1} "id ="inputText1"* readOnly =" #{General.BLock} "* / >"
    < af:inputText value = "#{bindings." Proceso.inputValue}"binding =" #{backingBeanScope.backing_Layout2.inputText2} "id ="inputText2"* readOnly =" #{General.BLock} "* / >"
    * < af:clientListener type = "dblClick" method = "activate the" / > *.
    * < af:serverListener type = "activate the" method="#{backingBeanScope.backing_Layout2.activarBloque}"/ > *.
    < / af:panelFormLayout >


    ClientListener calling Javascript Fucntion:

    function Activar (event) {}
    AdfCustomEvent.queue (event.getSource (), "Activar", {operation: "Create"}, false);
    }


    ServerListener call the method to change the attribute Block of GENERAL bean and also try to update panelFormLayout...

    {} public void activarBloque (ClientEvent clientEvent)
    * General.Block = false; *
    General.Operacion = clientEvent.getParameters ().get("operacion").toString ();
    * AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance () .addPartialTarget (this.getPanelFormLayout1 ()); *
    }

    (the block is static attribute)

    After I do dbClick I see general.block change its value to false but inputText don't update!...


    So, how can I force it to refresh the components when actionListener is trigger?

    Hello

    I think that in this case, you must call

    AdfPage.PAGE.addPartialTargets ()

    in JavaScript

  • Cannot change the properties of online text in the scrolling text box

    I have a simple text box with a UIScrollBar component added to it.

    Text box properties are on "enter text, multi line.

    The problem is when I want to change a single line of text to a "BOLD" or a different color, changing the content of the entire text box. I tried the setting of the different property for the text box itself with no luck.

    Is this possible? I have to use AS3?

    I would really appreciate help!

    Thank you!!!

    Steve

    If you change the html true property - either by using the property inspector or code if you are working with code - then you should be able to have different styles in a text box. This is the property that you tried and it didn't work so I need to learn more about how you try to apply the formatting.

    In cases concerning need it AS3... In general, I would say that if you do not have an overwhelming need to AS2 so you should use AS3. It has nothing to do with the text of no!

  • You cannot change the properties of the title

    I've never run on this issue before, but I'm in title Designer in Premiere Pro CS6 and cannot make changes to the font color/shade/what either. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but it's really stressing out me trying to figure out.

    Screen Shot 2014-09-14 at 6.47.29 PM.png

    I believe that you can size the window title so that the parameters can be off the screen to the right.

    In the upper left corner, click the green button to resize the window - do they appear?

    Hello

    You should have these buttons available.  One thing to watch with CCA, is not being able to see the scroll bar on the right side.  Try to move the window in GRP, there is most likely a scroll bar that you don't see, and the necessary keys are falling over and you are simply unable to see without scrolling down.

  • 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.
