cannot unset'read only "using the Properties window

After a blip in the update, I have a lot of files in a folder that I am unable to fix it, because they are 'read only' and will not change using the unset opyion in "Properties".

Here's what to do.

FIRST: you sing in your Windows as an administrator. Windows 7 and Vista disable by default. In the menu START > Accessories, right-click on command prompt and click Run as administrator. In the command line type

NET user administrator / Active: Yes

(be sure to use the space before the slash). You should receive confirmation of success.

Then go to the folder in question Properties dialog box and on the tab security add user everyone and give him full privileges.

You should be able to access the folder as desired.

Good luck!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Cannot modify read only options for all my files

    Original title: properties of the file.

    All of my files have become "read only".  Even if I'm an admin I can't change that.  If I open the properties and uncheck the read-only box, it emerges, I click on apply and OK, but the file remains read-only.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    From your description, it seems that you can not change the only option of reading to all your files in the computer.

    I'll be happy to help you. This problem can be caused if the files are corrupt and comes into conflict with other programs.

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    1 have you ever done any recent hardware or software on your computer changes?

    2. have you created the file read-only?

    I suggest to follow the steps below and we update on the State of the question.

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

    a. click Start, click run, type cmd, and press enter.

    b. to display 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.

  • Files read-only on the network.

    Hello.  I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I have a home network with a second computer (Win XP pro) configuration.  My problem with my Windows 7 computer.  I can create and modify files it contains very well.  However when I access those files on the network, EITHER from the 2nd computer the same computer (which is connected to the computer 1, from computer1, via the network) they open read-only.  The curious symptom is that the files are read-only even when I connect to computer 1 to Computer1.  Any thoughts on this problem?

    -Files are not selected in their properties read-only.

    -There is only 1 account for both computers on the network, and this user is a member of the Administrators group.

    -This happens for all files.  I found an article about a known problem similar to Excel files.  I followed the instructions in this article, does not.

    -What happens when the files are located in C:\temp, C:\Users\\Desktop\temp and Documents C:\Users\Public\Public (supposed to be a shared folder).

    Any help would be great.

    Problems of permission and security with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . All the users who are allowed to share need to have an account on the computers they are allowed to connect to everyone is an account, that means a group of all users who already have an account now as users. This does not mean everyone who feel they would like to connect.

  • All my files are set to read-only. The files are not.

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

    The files contained in these files are not read-only. How I found out about it, was that I tried to copy / paste a file from one directory to another last night and it was not authorized. Please keep in mind that I am logged on as administrator. There is only one user, me.

    I ran a recent analysis of spyware, virus scan and checked the permissions of users. I unchecked the read-only installation and reset my pc and it still comes up read-only.

    This causes a major problem.

  • com.sun.faces.el.impl.ElException: cannot set read-only expressions

    Hi all

    I have done rendering m using the conditional expression for the selected attribute of < af:selectBooleanCheckbox >, but the read-only check box and I am not able to deselect them or select later.

    Here is the code:

    * < af:selectBooleanCheckbox value = "#{rank." Eligible == 'Y '? "{true: false}" id = "selectBooleanCheckbox1" / >. *

    If I use the JSF HTML component like * < h:selectBooleanCheckbox value = "#{rank." Eligible == 'Y '? "{true: false}" id = "selectBooleanCheckbox1" / > * and uses conditional expression, the box is rendered and I am able to select or deselect. However once I have send the form then throw it upwards under the exception:

    Hi Prasad,

    You don't mention that you use for your model layer; the easiest way to proceed is to expose a Boolean attribute on your model layer and link box to the. If you use ADF business components, just to create a transitional attribute and create a getter for her in the java class that will return true or false, depending on the value of "eligible" in the same way, create a Set accessor, which sets the 'eligible' O/N according to if true/false is passed.

    Hello!

    I am writing this issue on behalf of another Member of our association, which does not much English. We bought him Final Cut Pro X, so that he can learn a few video do, and he is very enthusiastic about it. We first had a try of FCP X, and then we bought and installed the version full (10.2.3). He is still learning the basics, and today he said he can not find the property field in the upper right corner that he used in the trial version. I don't know what the problem is, so I asked for a screenshot:

    https://drive.Google.com/a/hyvanmielenpelit.fi/file/d/0B26s9BQiLuATRVRob0lnNFY3Q m8/view? USP = share

    Apparently, the Properties window does not appear when he wrote a large '3D text' on a purple background. I'm not sure if it is just using the program wrong, or what is the problem, but in any case, I promised to write a post on a forum of FCP X, so that someone could help it how to get properties appears. He wants to see properties, for example, for the 3D text, when added to the timeline. No idea what is the problem?
