How a property of a file? My documents (.pdf, .xls, .pg) award themselves status read-only again.

There were no updates/changes/restores on my machine recently.

I wanted to move the files I've created - and saved directly to an external hard drive - since the external hard drive and My Documents on my laptop.

All right up until the last few files and files (about 50 MB of files .pdf and .xls and .pg) stated that the my access has been denied because they were either read-only or in use.

I rebooted the machine to ensure that I did not use the files or the folders in question and he has not been enough to uncheck all the boxes read-only in the properties of the external hard drive or My Documents each document itself.  If I create a copy and make changes, and save the copy that too, he was born as a read-only despite how make sure that all the documents should not be.

Someone once guided me through a process to take ownership of a file and I hope that if I 'own' them I can dictate their attributes and transfer them successfully.

Thanks for your help,

Tom

    How to password lock a file with documents in windows vista?

    Hello

    You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.

    Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.

  • How can I download multiple files or documents in the same folder of destination without redirecting every time?

    I often download 20 or if another company system files and save them in the same folder on my hard drive. Is there a way to "fix" the destination for files or documents folder when I download?

    Hi BruceBear,

    When you download files, Windows usually saves in the downloads folder, which is located under your user name in the users folder on the drive where Windows is installed (for example C:\Documents and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Mes Documents\Downloads).

    When you save the file, you can choose to save it in a different folder. By default, some file types are saved in different folders. For example, if you right-click on an image on a Web page and then choose Save picture as on the menu, the image will be saved in the default photos folder.

    You cannot specify a particular folder to be the destination for downloads.

  • files copied to the CD in Vista appear in 'read only' on Windows XP

    Were copy of a document written on a desktop with Vista on a CD.  When inserted in my Windows XP laptop, it appears as a 'read only' document and I can't type or make changes.  What I am doing wrong? Save me it is bad, they are not compatible systems?  Any help is appreciated, also please answer as if you were talking to a student of 3rd because it's on the level of my computer knowledge.  Thank you!

    Thanks for your help, but I thought about it before you replied.  Here is the solution to my problem: my microsoft office 2003 trial period had expired and I was able to read the documents that I had copied to CD. I kept getting the message: unauthorized modification because the document is locked. I googled the trial office free microsoft downloads, download Microsoft Office 2007 trial version and now have free for a few months. The entire document is now in the format of some because it was written (in Microsoft Word Office 2007) and I can edit and add to the document.  Finally, I have to pay for it, but at least my problem was solved!

  • How can I know which files or documents I can safely remove in the appdata folder

    My appdata folder contains many files that are empty. I can remove them safely?

    Hi dem1uth,

    Welcome to Microsoft windows vista forums!

    APPDATA: Stores the path to the folder that contains the user-specific files that install applications. For example, Microsoft Word may install a custom dictionary to the location specified by the value of this entry. You can enter any valid Universal Naming Convention (UNC) or mapped drive name in the value of this entry.

    Is it not recommended to remove the content from APPDATA, because it contains information of the applications.

    If you want to reduce the number of unnecessary files on your hard disk to free up disk space and help your computer run faster, use disk cleanup. It removes temporary files, empty the Recycle Bin, and removes a variety of file system and other items that you no longer need.

    Please see the link to perform a disk cleanup

  • How to manage the image files used in PDF forms

    With LiveCycle, I created an interactive form for requests of Help Desk-type and the form works perfectly. I tested it and everything works. See the property. Hide, clear the fields. And all other behaviors I added with the Action Builder.

    As a final design feature, on my local machine at work, I've added a header image (which is in My Documents > my pictures). I have tested locally and downloaded the form in Sharepoint and tested from there, and from what I can remember, the form went well. The header was intact. So I assume that type of image has been incorporated somehow.

    Then I put the House file and opened it and - Voila! -No header image!

    That's happened?

    The image files need to be downloaded and the path relative to the location of the file? For me, it doesn't seem to be a huge problem. Something more. I can probably download the image to a location in Sharepoint, and then set the path to the image in the XML file.

    But I would like to hear the experiences of those who have used image files in their LiveCycle Forms.

  • How to reduce the size of Indesign documents PDF export?

    I wonder if there is a way for Indesign reduce the size of page of a multiple page document?

    I have a 38 page book that has a page size of 9 "x 8"... so the spread size is 9 "x 16".

    I want this in order to reduce the size of the exported PDF file.

    So if there is a way to reduce the size of PDF, that would work too.

    I looked everywhere but could not find a function that allows you to reformat and save this document to a 50 percent reduction, for example.

    Is there such a feature with Indesign on CS1? (or one of the more recent versions CS?)

    Currently the smallest PDF I can export this document is 8 MB. (it contains a lot of graphics)

    I want to get that figure up to 3 MB or more.

    I have the dpi all reduced to 72 dpi... which has helped to reduce the PDF of the original 58 MB.

    But how is it possible to make it even smaller for emailing?

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    And in the process you'll find yourself with a flattened PDF. If you send to a client for proofing, be prepared to explain that these ugly white lines in all directions does not print it. And when they print to a desktop printer and print some lines, you'll have a problem of real credibility on your hands.

    Just a warning.

    Many facilities, owner, user, service, etc., the manuals are long enough, and often, we don't have the time to read in one sitting.   I need a way to place a tag or a 'Ribbon' (use of Adobe 'signet' for something else) to the point where I stop playing, so I can easily continue from there when then I have a little time.
