Cannot delete a Document "read only".

I have Windows Vista.  I inserted a disc in the drive, and there were about 20 documents on it.  The problem is this: I clicked one of the documents to delete and there is no Delete option.  I went in the paper and thought it was a document read-only.  I checked using the save option and under Tools, there is no control in the read-only box to clear.  I went out of the doc and clicked on properties to try to clear the area.  There is no check in the box, it is.  If there is not a check, can be a document read-only?

Further investigation, I found that all documents on the CD were "read only".  I never made any of them read-only, and without a box to turn it off, my question is: How did all these documents get this way and how can I fix the problem.  Thank you!

Hi clearlyembarrassed,

See the following article:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/erase-a-CD-or-DVD

In addition, just to check when you transfer all the files on a CD, it becomes read-only, you cannot change the file on the CD.

I hope this helps!

  • Cannot change the expression - read-only

    I have a problem as some of the steps in my sequence of the expression has become read-only. This has happened on and off the power for awhile on several machines, the job is to create a new step copy the expression and remove the old stage. I did once see a message something is set to 'read only', but I couldn't find where to disable it.

    I can always change to another part of the stage, in the properties-> Expressions pre and status windows are white and I can change them, the expression post window is gray and cannot be changed. The expression tab is the same, gray and read-only.

    TestStand 2012, that step is now a function f (x), don't know if it's always the case.

    I searched here and find only very old posts that sugest that the problem is solved in 2012.

    TS is considered to be a well hidden. You can view the properties hidden in the Preferences of the Station Options tab.

    Looks like your sequence files are INI format, then you might be able to fix it in a text editor. Open the movie file in a text editor and locate the steps in question. They are listed in order of their index position (e.g. "[SF. SEQ [0]. Hand [2]. TS]"), or you can use their stage names or IDs to find. In the steps that you want to modify, delete the line ' % FLG: PostExpr = 1 "to reset the indicators of the property to 0.

    You can try to generate checksums before and after copying the file in sequence to check if the file is actually change. You can also try saving the file in the sequence in binary format or XML instead of INI.

  • 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.

    Stefano

    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
