• I am trying to remove the read-only in a file of windows vista program

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with the program files in Windows Vista. I have a file that I need to be able to write to and I can't get out of the read-only mode. Can someone help me with this please?

  Thank you.

  You really shouldn't be messing around in the Program Files folder unless you REALLY know what you are doing, because the wrong action can cause a lot of damage to your programs (more than one in some cases).  You experience trouble intentionally caused by Vista.

  But assuming you want to do anyway for some reason, the said problem as a Teen geek is ownership and permissions.  They are particularly tight on the programs folder (and hard to get around even for people experienced in this sort of thing).

  You must you give full permissions and take ownership of the files or the folders that you intend to work with.  You may need to change the permissions of the parent due to inherited permissions folders.  You may also use the advanced permissions option to deal with special permissions (maybe change some while they are not inherited or others in order to provide the right permissions as well as the main permissions screen.  I don't know how long until you go to appropriating, but start with everything that you need and work upward only when necessary.  Here are a few guidelines for permissions and lines taken possession that should help you:

  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 resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (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.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  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/

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Is it possible to get the files for windows vista, so I can reinstall my system?

  Hello

  Im a user of linux on one machine HP Pavilion dv5-1095eo leisure. IM tired to restart my machine to run a windows OS, so is possible for me to get the files for windows vista. I got the windows key attached under the computer and I don't have any windows CD when I brought the machine.

  Hello:

  You can do your own installation disc Vista too if you wish.

  If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

  When I went to compile the ISO file, ImageBurn gave a message on a WIM file, file and ISO, and if I wanted to burn it in a different format.

  I selected no, make the ISO file.

  It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

  I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

  Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

  After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

• How read text file and decode

  Hi, I have a file which consists of 2 columns, it is first of all time/date stamp and 2nd is ON / OFF text.

  I would like to determine the time when the text is ON or OFF.

  I am not able to analyze the data in separate columns 2 and then read, can someone help me on this?

  The example of the file is attached.

  I was going to throw away the solution, but bob and cruz are probably right, that he is HW.

  What is the problem with your vi above, is that you are matching the model from the OFF, but you don't have a table, so your search through your entire text file and on the OFF first display you text in front of her. You must first create a picture of your spreadsheet from the read text file string. This can be done either by using a string of worksheet function array or as cruz said the spreadsheet file. Im not sure of your desired end result, but from there you can feed in a for loop and find each item ON or OFF.

  That should help you get started.

• close the reference on "read text file" - Ref num vs prefer class conflicts

  Dear users,

  Vi Analyzer asks me to close the refernce created by VI "read text file". So, I would close a refnum created by primitive VI "read text file". I used a direct wire, wiring by top and bottom of the casting, but each of them attend class conflicts (see the screenshot below). It is even possible to correctly transform the refnum (byte stream type reference) to refer (reference VI generic) and remove the refnum?

  

  See you soon,.

  You must use the close file.

  If you did not save your certificates to external media before you reinstalled XP, data is almost certainly inaccessible forever.

• Impossible to delete some files on windows vista (read-only cannot be deselected, either)

  Right... excuse me for grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch. So there you go.

  I am a user of Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I uninstalled World of Warcraft yesterday, and there are two files that I can't remove, no matter what I try. If I want to delete them, I first get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/483/eerstdit.PNG

  Can I get something I can't print screen for a reason, telling me to give my permission as an administrator of the laptop. What I'm doing. Then, I get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1054/endandit.PNG

  Remains and stays and stays (you get the picture), no matter how many times I click on 'Retry '. Of course, when I press cancel, it stops completely, and the files are still there.

  == Fun facts (or something like that) =.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7725/mapwb.PNG

  None of the files are marked as "read-only":

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6421/FileProperties.PNG

  But the plan is amrked as such... However, the name of the map can be changed. (As seen when I changed it to 'h' instead of 'World of Warcraft' to see if it would somehow effect). The names of the files, however, cannot.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9439/mapproperties.PNG

  When I try to change the map to 'no read-only', simply unchecking the box and try 'apply' or 'ok', I get the same response from the computer I get when I try to delete the files: no way I'll do .

  I tried to do since the mode without failure of the laptop with the same exact results. I am the only admin on the computer (in fact, I'm the only account outside the 'guest' one) and Yes, I am enrolled in the two-person-list, who is an administrator (which is strange in itself, because, as I said, the other account should not exist even) have the files.

  Of course I can't open the files, because the programs they were running with disappeared with uninstalling WoW.

  http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5599/Openen.PNG

  And this is my story. If nobody here knows, suggestions to other places that they might know are also welcome.

  Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  If this does not work, it may be a permissions problem.  Try to give permission in their own right and also appropriate.  Here is information on how to do these two things:

  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/.

  If this does not work, try to reinstall WOW and then uninstall it with Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html instead of using the option to uninstall Vista (Revo does a better job and can cope with these two files during the process).

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

  In Vista Ultimate, when I try to read a file .pvc of Panasonic using Panasonic Ved1_VM1_Player mini, it says "Media is protected of Scripture." I sent the file to two other computers, one running XP and one running Vista Basic. The audio file will run without incident using the mini-Player. How can I remove the write protect from the file in Vista Ultimate?

  Hi Polaris380,

  Method 1: Check in the drive for all parameters read the file.

  Method 2: This may be a problem with DRM (Digital Rights Management), if your computer does not all rights to use media for files you have received, you may encounter these problems. In this case you can contact Panasonic for the rights to use read the file on the computer of the problem.

• Password protect Zip files in Windows Vista 64-bit

  Hello

  Windows Vista Ultimate allows me to send files to a compressed folder.  I read several answers elsewhere that you can then open the folder and select "File--> Add a password...". "to add a password.  However, I can't find it.

  Can anyone help?

  Chris

  Hello

  The ability to natively password - protect a zipped file was removed from Vista and Windows 7.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/can-I-protect-files-or-folders-with-a-password

  If you want to protect a zipped file, you will need to get third-party compression software that supports this.

  Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
