Cannot turn off read-only attribute. Only perform the media folders.

Yesterday, I noticed that all my files storage of media, that is to say, photos and music, hear the read-only attribute.  When I try to stop, it acts like it is trigger attribute, but it doesn't.  There is a lock on these folders icon.  I have administrative permissions.  It is not limited to a single physical disk.  It affects the files on two different disks.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

  • Impossible to turn off read-only - and I already checked the Security tab

    Hello, I use Vista Ultimate.  I'm on my home computer and have full administrative rights.  Have a big problem trying to get the recovery off the power on a personal folder read-only.  It is NOT a folder on a network or is a system folder.  When I go in the folder and click on the Security tab, ALL users have full right to make any changes.    No error displayed whenever I then deselect read only on the general tab, click on or .  But when I re - open the folder and check the properties, read-only is still active.  It's driving me crazy.  HELP!?!?!?!

    And Yes, I tried this:

    "To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista

    1. Click on start, run, type cmd and press ENTER...
    2. To view the syntax for the Attrib command, Type attrib------? at the 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 operate correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

    attrib - r s by car:------------

    For example, to remove both the read-only and the attributes to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

    attrib - r-s c:\test

    If the run command is not listed in the start menu, follow these steps:

    Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, and then click Run."


    And get an error that says: parameter Incorrect Format.

    Have you checked to see if the files in the folder are effectively read-only or if the only problem is that the file is checked in read-only?

    You may need to go higher in the chain of record because some properties are inherited (see advanced security of the folder until you come to one where the special permissions list including all permissions that are inherited for administrators or your user account). It does not stick because you don't have the permissions and/or ownership to allow you to make the change.  You must have permissions to full right for all folders (both on the main page and in the special permissions list) and you will have to take possession of the records as well.  Then change the ownership and permissions for yourself and administrators and don't forget to check the box for all files and subdirectories.  This should give you what you need to make the changes.  Here is some information that might help.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • Cannot turn off or disable password protected sharing the network and sharing Center

    I'm trying to turn some pretty simple sharing of files between our windows PC (two portable minicomputers running under XP, a desk and a laptop running vista).

  • Not set to read only on the files so that they can be shared and changed on a network.

    I've seen any other questions on this subject, but they do not solve my problem.  I had to reset my network because I have a new router.  Now I can open the files on my main computer from another computer, but they always opened read-only.  I tried to set sharing and security to allow the share on the network and allow network users to change files.  But I can not turn off the box next to 'read only' in the general tab.  I also tried to start XP in safe mode and take possession of the file (article 308421), but this does not work either.

    I also tried in vain to change the attributes of command line to remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

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

    After trying a few other corrections, I finally did a system restore before the installation of the network.  Then, I used the Network Wizard to reconfigure the network. I changed the name of the computer, so I knew what was the new connection.  Then I copied the wizard network on a USB key and reconfigured the second computer.  Now everything works fine (I can open, edit and save files between computers) even if the readonly attribute is always highlighted on the record.

    All records are all my disks are set to read-only. This includes my drive c, d Bank, e-reader and my backup drive.

  • Cannot turn off bluetooth from the option of the family disappeared in the context menu of Tablet

    Hello

    Well, I installed Win 7 on my X61t, as well as new software from Lenovo, and I can't understand how to disable bluetooth now. I used to do that via the context Menu in tablet, I had radios settings there and I could turn off/turn on the WiFi and Bluetooth separately there. Now, I have only one option of radio wireless disable, which basically does the same thing as the wireless switch, so it's a bit useless.

    I guess that option could have dissaperaed because I have not installed logins now (and I can't install it because I'm fine with what I get with 7).

    So, how can I disable BT now? I tried through the taskbar icon, I tried via the Control Panel, through network connections, even through the Device Manager. Even when I disable all BT devices and connections Bluetooth LED remains on, so it is not totally disabled at the hardware level. Of course, so I want to be able to turn off quickly, as I did through the context menu of the Tablet, via the control panel is not really a solution anyway.

    Oh, and I don't know if it's important, but the Bluetooth light is on all the time during the boot now, and I don't think that it was before. Although maybe I just never used on startup with bluetooth turned on, so I didn't notice... here, not sure.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks, has soon!

    Dear Stansfield

    Hope a low-tech suggestion works for you.
    Have had a similar experience with the portability of devices two radio WLAN and Bluetooth individually vs black & white radio power.

    Found I needed to load the last shortcut key driver in your case for a X 61 Tablet 7764 CTO,
    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?sitestyle=Lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-68009

    Then use the combination Fn and F5 (in blue) instead of other options in some menus of the Windows user interface.
    And voila, I found that the behavior has been defined in the "Fn + F5 parameters" button at the bottom of the pop-up window, the second box option
    "Alternate between turn off all wireless radios and by turning on all radios.
    instead of the first choice that I wanted
    'Display a menu that allows me to control the parameters of power to radio wireless in my system individually.

    Had the behavior corrected, and now he's doing what I want to happen.
    It will be useful for you, too.

  • Convert editable PDF read-only when the Envoy in an email - JavaScript

    I have a real estate company that is trying to have an application that an agent and the customer can fill in the necessary information, press "submit" button, have the javascript code to compose an email with the attached pdf file.  Here's the question I'm having: I need to be able to convert the editable PDF reading only so that when the client receives a copy that they can not change the information again.

    Here is my code for the Send button javascript:

    It's the return of form e-mail. It is hardcoded

    to make the form comes back to the same address.

    Change of address on your form to match the code below

    Email business

    var cToAddr = " " [email protected] "; "

    First of all, download the customer email CC

    var cCCAddr = this.getField("1st_Tenant_Email").value;

    If (cCCAddr! = "")

    Download now the second email only if it is filled

    var cBenAddr = this.getField("2nd_Tenant_Email").value;

    If (cBenAddr! = "")

    Get now the third E-mail only if it is filled

    var cthirdAddr = this.getField("3rd_Tenant_Email").value;

    If (cthirdAddr! = "")

    Set text object and the body of the e-mail message

    var cSubLine = 'Test - form of contract '.

    var cbody = "thank you for submitting your form. \n' + 'save the attachment of the completed form for your records.

    Send the PDF as an attachment to an e-mail

    this.mailDoc ({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: (cCCAddr + ";")})

    (+_cBenAddr_+_";"_+_cthirdAddr), bassujetti: cSubLine, CMSG: cbody});

    I found a work around because I didn't buy something else. I changed the digital signature so that once it has been signed, it would turn into read-only except for the Send button. With the button send, I used the code above to submit the pdf now read-only for the company by e-mail and cc tenants.  I hope this will help others also.

  • Can we do a line read only in the advanced table?

    Yes, you can set row as read only in the table in advance.

    Steps to follow:
    (1) take the attribute Transient seen as ControlReadonly (Boolean Type) in the attached with advanced table view object.
    Note: Your all the lines will have now a new attribute called ControlReadOnly.

    (2) using the property read only set SPELL on each field of your advance deposited the region.

  • Several Applications using UDP Multicast Open (read only) on the same port

    Hi all

    Currently, I am trying to build a system that has the following architecture:

    RF Server = "1-9 A/D '-> «UDP Multicast (write-only) 1-9"»

    Workstation operator = "QTY (N) Data Display Apps all need independently to access one of the 9 UDP multicasts at a time.

    Essentially, I have 9 items of antenna that all digitized and distributed via UDP separate multicast address and port. On the receive side I need to be able to have the N number of data display applications where everyone can select the antenna element he wants to get data from. My current goal for N is 7 and the worst case for the data rate is 3.75 MSps IQ rates on each display.

    My question is whether or not it is possible to have several "UDP Multicast Open (read only)" on the same port but one by application Data Display? Also, are there limitations with this.

    On my local machine I tried a bit with the example 'UDP Multicast Sender.vi' and "UDP Multicast Reciever.vi". I created a "UDP Multicast Reciever2.vi" as another application that listens on the same port/Multicast address as the original receiver. No errors are thrown when you run the receivers and both receivers get the data string sent by the sender at the same time. Can I send data/a. 'PC'-> 'Router Ethernet'-> 'PC with receiver UDP N' reliable evidence? If so, that's fine, because it would be relatively easy to implement. BTW, I do not fear with occasional loss of data what is happening with UDP.

    If this does not work, I am also curious to know which deals with data deduplication. For example, two applications by subscribing to the same Multicast address and port does the router send two copies (which increases network traffic)? Or, the Windows operating system get a single UDP packet to the port and replicate in two independent applications?

    Below (or attached) are the two methods I thought. If multiple readers of UDP does not work so I thought I'd do a DataSocket "Data Distribution layer" between the incoming UDP sockets and display data on the workstation applications. This would add a bit of memory/processor to the PC workstation, but I know the DataSocket server of NOR can handle a sender unique multiple receiver architecture.

    Thank you

    Tim S.

    Hi Tim,.

    The number of concurrent applications, get data on the same port UDP will probably be a limitation of the OS as well. If I had to guess, I would say that 7 of the applications should work correctly. In fact, the memory/CPU bottlenecks are probably the limit on how many simultaneous readers we have, especially since the capablities of PC hardware differ from one computer to the other. I doubt that the OS has a strict limit.

    I have improved my Q10 to 10.3, after that that it restarts after several minutes since I turn it off. This means that I can't turn it off and it is still running on automactially. But it can be turned off while charging.

    Perform a simple reboot on the BlackBerry this way: with smart BlackBerry poweredphone, remove the battery for a minute and then reinsert the battery to restart. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most defects and errors of operating system, and you will lose any data on the device doing so.
