Impossible to change an attribute of read-only for the My Documents folder in Windows 8

Problem:

Everything I put in My Documents directory is converted into read-only, so all my files in this folder (especially my PDFs) cannot be opened OR downloaded/sent online. I tried to use cmd and Type attrib - r "c:\users\myaccountfoldername\documents" but nothing works, document folder still has that little padlock on its icon. I also gave everyone full access to this folder, but whatever I do, I can't change the property "read only". Even if I uncheck that manually in the properties, it continues to go back.

I looked for a solution now and I still have solved it. I ignore it if I could, but I put a lot of important and frequently accessed files in my library of Documents, so I really need to get this figured out soon.
I just bought this laptop about a week ago, it came with Windows 8. I'm not sure but I think that this problem happened to me when I joined the homegroup on my local network and began to share files so that I can transfer my old files from my old laptop.
With this in mind, I tried also to leave the homegroup and restart. The Documents folder was read-only a minute or two after I restarted, but then it became like this again after some time.
I know that it was designed for the safety of my files and everything, but what should I do with my 'secure' files, if I can't even open a simple PDF file?
I am the administrator and the user account only on this laptop

Platform:
64-bit Windows 8
Path in question:
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents

I finally understood what was causing the problem! Apparently, he was in the Service of protection against theft by MacAfee (that I installed immediately after the purchase of my new laptop) encrypt all the files in the Documents folder and all the office files that I have! Which explains why no matter how many times I try to seize or delete and redo the folder my documents, it simply would not work. I finally uninstalled the hassle of a service and I can now access my files again :)

  • Windows XP Home deselection of read-only on the FlexNet Adobe folder do not stick.

    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 and all programs except for InDesign. It comes up with an error message that says license has stopped working. Adobe lists several solutions, all that I tried with one exception that I couldn't because a step said to uncheck the read-only option for one of its folders named FlexNet. However, when I do this it deselects but it does not stick, if I look back at it now read-only is enabled. On a side note, in the same solution for XP Home it also says to disable Simple file sharing which is right impossible?

    Yes, the Adobe instructions sound as if they are not familiar with Windows XP Home Edition. First of all, the read-only attribute is not applicable to records in any version of Windows - XP, Vista or Windows 7. That's why you see the behavior you are reporting. And as you point out, you cannot disable Simple file sharing in XP Home. In all cases, the Simple file sharing (which controls how a computer connects to other computers in the Local network) is likely to have something to do with InDesign does not.

    I'm sorry that I'm unable to help you with this issue of Adobe, however. I guess you have uninstalled/reinstalled the program? If this isn't the case, you should try it. You may find an answer by posting in the InDesign user forum:

  • Creating a table fixed adf read-only for the month

    Hello world

    I was wondering if it would be possible to create a table read-only horizontal adf fixed with the months of the year. I am pretending to do is the following:

    Jan Feb March April May June

    Jul there are seven Oct Nov Dec

    Really, it isn't serious me if I create the table by hand or the month comes from a table in a database, but is it possible? How would you do it?

    I really tried to do, I tried foreach, a table, I tried to browse but I couldn't do it.

    Any help or ideas from anyone? How can you do a foreach statement and 'divide' table of the adf two?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Thank you

    * original title - upgrade from Vista home premium to Windows 7 ultimate necessarily triggers upgrading the bios in order to take full advantage of window 7? *

    rThen your question isn't specific to Windows 7, you must consult the manufacturer. You should be able to disable the USB via the BIOS ports. Also, why do you want to set the optical drive as read only? If it is shared? If so, the advanced sharing disk properties, from there, you can set permissions on the drive.

  • How to activate a field read-only for data entry.

    Dear all,

    In fact, I'm bring a form simply queries the table of database data and shows it. It presents the data in readonly textfields.

    There is a button that can create a new line. The problem is when the system is to create the line he is creating the messagefield readoly.

    In order to overcome the situation that I wrote the code below

    mainVO.last () .setAttribute ("IsTextReadable", Boolean.TRUE); To make the last row entrable for the user.

    But the system gives the error when the user is pressing the button create

    Details of the exception.

    oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.NoDefException: Houston-25058:

    IsTextReadable of the type definition of that attribute is not found in XxphccamsfdbmstdtlrVO1

    Could you please suggest me how to make the textfield readonly can be changed dynamically.

    Concerning

    Rajat

    Dear Stephanie,

    Thanks for your reply. I solved the problem and it was pretty simple.

    I created a transient in the VO and attached attribute the transitional attribute to the property read-only from the field using SPEL (${oa.) XxamsfdbdtlrVO1.Viewenb}).

    Select the line that you want to update and run it.

    row.setAttribute ("Viewenb", Boolean.TRUE);

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

    Hello

    We have an obligation where the user wants to the first line of a table advanced to readonly, and remaining lines as editable lines. Can someone please let me if we can achieve this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Solène

    Hello

    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.
    as ReadOnly ${oa.. ControlReadOnly}

    (3) the loading of the page, in the query itself process you can set the attribute to True and if you need frontline to travel up to the end of the rows in the table and set the value to False for ControlReadOnly.
    ex: line = vo.first ();
    row.setAttribute ("ControlReadOnly", Boolean.TRUE);

  • 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.
