Cannot rename the folders or files
Hello
I have an older Toshiba laptop that works under Windows XP. For some time, I can't rename my files or folders. I looked at the properties and noted that they are marked as "read only". I change it and apply it, but then he doesn't remember this setting and goes back to read-only.
When I click on 'File' link 'Rename' is gray and I can't do a right-click on the name so that it can allow the amendment. I do not understand why this should suddenly happen, I've looked through the different menus and settings and you don't see nothing obviously wrong! Help, please!
See you soon
GMC
seems that something in your registry is not clear. In this case I reinstall the operating system and back up your files that cannot be renamed.
Otherwise, if you want to keep the operating system, and then simply click on the following link and read this thread (check the last post...): http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1131736977
That should help you.
Welcome them

Looks like you are running with SET MSG DETAIL, is that correct?
Has the potential to create a lot of log entries. Just a guess but you run out of space in your/diagnostics/logs folder?

Moved the folder "Pictures" of Mac and catalog image files shows no images. Cannot navigate to the appropriate folder in 'Files' Panel and cannot rename the folder "Images". How can I reconnect catalog image files?
You opened an empty catalog.
You can try the following two steps to open the appropriate catalog file.
- Use the file-> open recent, open the list of all catalogs
- If this does not work, you will need to find the appropriate help for your operating system catalog file and double-click it to open it.

I unflagged all the folders and files that I share on my home network, however, I am not able to rename them or save them on my PC from my laptop on my wireless network. This has happened since May 12 and I suspect an auto update changed or recover from something.
Running Vista Home Premium SP2 on PC
Laptop is Windows 7
Thanks for getting back to me Mick!
I did a restore to 5/10 when I had no problem, but the problem persisted.
I'll have to try Norton support. This may be something they did.
In the meantime, I managed to change the names of files by connecting to the PC with the account of my wife who as co-owner had equal rights and the sign of the laptop is its ID as well so it worked, but it isn't always fair.
Once again, thank you...

Hi Jemd3,
I suggest you to completely remove Norton of the system using Norton Removal Tool and check if the problem persists.
Method 1:
Maybe it's that your computer is affected by virus and malware. I suggest you run an online anti-virus scan and a scan for Malware. See the links below.

Follow these methods.
Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

Cannot find the config.xml file
Hi all
I searched the forum and google my problem with no luck. I hope someone here can help me.
On my Windows XP VM, I try to use Packager WebWorks to compile a file to archive. Whenever I do, I get "archive invalid - cannot find the file config.xml. Of course, my zip file has a config.xml file.
While trying to fix it myself, I downloaded the sketchpadStandard.zip of the sample and could only compile without error. I extracted the file and re-compressed it and got the error "cannot find the config.xml file. I used the utility of windows XP, I downloaded winzip and used this utility, I used my mac to compress the file. Whenever * I * do, I get the error.
Obviously, package manager works, and I'm in the right directory that I'm able to compile the provided sample Archives, but why the hell can not compile the VERY SAME FILES I checked myself?
Any thoughts much appreciated.
After several hours of experimentation, I finally load the mac version of the SDK directly on my mac, rather than the version of windows on my virtual Windows machine. I did the fix here would solve the same problem on a mac and it worked.
