• I can't uncheck the 'Read only' attribute with success a Program Files (x 86) folder. Help, please?

  Hello. I have mod Grand Theft Auto IV for pc. Long story short, I have the re - install. There is this called LCPDFR mod that allows you to become a police officer in the game. I need to download this. In order to successfully download this (when I try to download / save, he said "the Publisher of this program could not be verified". it gives me no option to run or something and that's it, apparently because of the problem I put in the title and Description), the root folder "Grand Theft Auto IV" (which is in my "Program Files (x 86)" folder) is not to be 'Read Only' (the 'Read only' checkbox must be deselected in 'Properties'). Do not forget that, under the tab 'security' in 'Properties', for the folder root of "Grand Theft Auto IV", I have administrators / me 'total control '. So, as I said, I uncheck the 'Read only', click on 'Apply', then 'Ok '. I go back in 'Properties' and 'Read Only' is checked as if I had never disabled it in the first place (when I already just did).

  So, in summary, the problem I have is that every time I uncheck "Read only", click on apply, then click ok, and go to properties again, it is always checked when I was already unchecked, applied and then approved it. This continues to be over and over and over again. Please help me?

  PS - I have windows 8.

  I thank you very much for your time and have a nice day!

  Hello. For some reason I'm not able properly to uncheck the 'Read only' attribute of a folder in my "Program Files (x 86)". Whenever I click to uncheck the 'Read only' in 'Properties' (tried several times) and click 'Apply', then 'Ok' and I go back to check it out, it is checked as if I've never disabled it. I have Windows 8. He continues to do this and I don't know why. Help, please?

  Read-only status is normal for files because Windows ignores the
  attribute. Whatever the question is that you are trying to correct may not
  be associated with the State of the file read-only.

• Impossible to create accessible folders writable on a shared drive because the 'read only' attribute is slways and cannot be deleted.

  I have a windows 7 PC on a network with other computers (running XP earlier versions mainly).
  The PC has a reader shared with a shared folder, for general use in the folder data.
  When I create a directory under D:\data it "readonly" attribute is defined.
  I can't remove the attribute "read only". Tried the usual way using properties and using the attrib command.
  User has administrator privileges.
  Network users can see the contents of the directory but cannot write or save because of the attribute set readonly.

  -How to solve this problem?

  If anyone has REALLY an answer pls email * address email is removed from the privacy * it's urgent!

  Ask the administrator to change the attributes of the file to support the writing too. Administrators cannot change the attributes, that too much distance.

• I can't change the read only files on my NAS unit.

  I have a promise SmartStore MS4300n Network Attached Storage system that I have used for more than two years. I can access it from my Windows Xp and my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. Yesterday, I tried to move some files from my Win 7 to the NAS and I find that I can't copy on it. I can move my Win 7 7 NAS files. When I look at the properties of the files on the NAS, they all are now READ ONLY. When I try to change it tells me I don't have permission. I am the only user and I am logged in as admin. Yet once it has started here yesterday.
  If I access the NAS since my XP I can copy data to the NAS even if properties files are READ only.

  The problem is clearly with WINDOWS 7, how to fix it, it work well before and I need to use this device to check my belongings.

  Thank you

• Can't remove read only attribute even using the command "Attrib - r".

  I have my computer laptop configuration to dual boot Windows Vista and Windows 7.  I installed Windows 7 to see Vista, images, music files and videos Documents in its libraries.  These four files have become read recently that in Vista, and I can't remove the read-only attribute.  I tried to use the attrib command in command as suggusted in KB326549, but I get a message "access denied."  I want to be able to access these files from two operating systems so that I don't need to save the files on two hard disk partitions.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  By default, you have only write access to folders and files located inside your user (c:\users\yourname) directory, some hidden folders, and any file that you created.

  The only time you need to write access to all files outside of this area is at this time do system administration or install a program.

  This can be done easily by running some tool or install the program you use "Administrator" by right-clicking on it and clicking Run as administrator, which allow the tool access to the system.

  It's the new way of doing things in Windows Vista - the system is locked, and only the programs you are running as an administrator or you request automatically the authorization are allowed to access your computer. This will prevent programs to access your computer without your knowledge.

  This command "Run As Administrator" is ideal to run on Windows Explorer and command control.exe (Panel).

  It is * NOT * recommended that you change the security settings to allow write access on the operating system created for files and folders, as this will significantly reduce the security of your system.

  So, in essence, it becomes a question of permissions/ownership.  Here's how to deal both:

  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/.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• The document can be encrypted or read-only

  Due to the corruption of the boot files, I restored PC back to factory settings, recreated the user accounts and re-installed all software. The last step was to restore backup user files.

  For example, to restore all files in c:/users/xyz in their original location. No problem, all of the files restored successfully.

  However, when I go to c:/users/xyz/documents/abc.doc for example and you try to open the file, I get this "Word cannot access abc.doc. This document can be read-only or encrypted"message.

  I look at the properties of the folder c:/user/xyz and see that the read-only check box is shaded. I disabled the read-ony assign and apply to all folders, subfolders and files. He goes and lists all the folders and files it modifies the attribute. The box is now without shading.

  However, when I try to access any file, I get the orginal error. I then check the properties of the folder c:/user/xyz and the read-only check box is shaded again!

  Same question if I try to change the read-only attribute of any file or subfolder level.

  Whenever I try to access any file, the parameter returns to read-only.

  Any ideas?

  Go to the folder and give you all the rights in both the main and the display screen advanced (including all subfolders and files).  In the screen advanced and then click the property tab take possession of the entire folder and all its subfolders and files.  Here are some tips that can help you.

• 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!

• File attributes can be changed from read-only on a global scale?

  I just finished using Easy Transfer from XP on a Win7 machine on another PC and find that almost ALL of my documents, spreadsheets and Access databases has been changed read-only.  I changed a couple of them to full access through the Properties menu, etc. and many prefer to be able to do on a global scale as I speak of hundreds of files that have been changed by this transfer.

  Is there a way to do this on all my files on my hard drive?

  Ronnie,

  It just seemed to me that all I really need to do is to find a way to change MY profile for equal to that of the admin. I did it just for a few files and these files are no longer read-only... !  I hesitate to change my system to an ADMIN login for security reasons.   I also changed the attributes of the lowest subfolder, then the above it and then I can open all of the files in these folders in r/w mode...

  So, is it possible to automate change the attributes of all files folder and subfolders?

  Fred615

  Hi Fred

  Yes, you must be connected to a Director profile.

  If all these files that you want to remove the read-only attribute on the D: drive, perform the following steps. Use these commands exactly as written, including spaces.

  1. open the elevated command prompt by using the profile administrator.

  The location should display C:\Windows\system32 >

  2 type cd\

  Press ENTER

  The location should now show C:\ >

  3. Type  D:

  Press ENTER

  4 location should now show D:\ >

  5 type attrib - r *. * /s /d

  Press ENTER

  This should remove the read-only attribute of all folders and files on that drive.

  Test and let us know the results.
