Photos appear as read only files

cannot remove the read-only my vista jointsdans.

I can't remove the read-only my files (at least in the photos).  It is provided with a solid box, not a check mark and I can't remove it.  I need to edit and print photos, and I don't know what to do.  The only software I have installed is a HP printer wireless on my home network.

Hi HeatherSt,
 
-Have you noticed this change after you install HP printer software?
-Were you able to edit photos without any problems before?
Is there another account administrator user on your computer?
 
Note: It is possible that change a read-only file can cause a program that relies on the file to stop working properly, so be sure that it's okay to change a read-only file before you proceed.
 
Cannot change files read-only, but they can be copied, moved, renamed, or deleted. Therefore, try to Rename the file or perform one of these operations and check if that helps.
 
If you can't always change read-only, follow the steps in the link below:

  • Files appear in 'Read only' and unable to change that.

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate. A couple of weeks, I had a big problem with some of my permissions of the user being edited (don't know how I did it but it happened) so I was unable to access programs and files, after awhile with a MS tech on cat and a system restore (failed), I just created a new user account and delete the old one.

    Everything seems to work fine now, but before I created the user account, I copied some files I had on the desktop to a flash drive and put them with my new office to the user. The property file to keep appearing as 'Read only' even after unchecking the choice and the application it is just when I close.

    This also happens when I create a new folder on the desktop, its default property is 'Read Only' - why would this be and how can I change it?

    Hi GoodfellaJC,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

    Follow the steps mentioned below.

    Step 1:

    To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista or Windows 7

    1. click on Start, click run, type cmd , and press ENTER.

    2. to view 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.

    For more information, see the article mentioned below.

  • Backup error ReadyNas DUO - «read only file system»

    Hello community,

    I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night, it is running a backup job that copies a file from a computer on the local network to the NAS itself. What often happens is after a reboot for a while, things work sometimes days, sometimes weeks. But then I get e-mails warning that contains journal like entries:

    CP: cannot create the file ' / backup/projecten/./CAM_strip/01_v0.1.JPG': read-only file system

    Usually this warning is given for each file (which means thousands) so that emails are big enough. And obviously the backup has not been made. I tried to solve this problem and sought similar questions on this forum and on the web, but nothing helped. I can't identify what is the cause.

    Maybe you could help me the grace to some of the run settings, I can tinker too. I guess it has something to do with the ownership and rights to access these files and folders.

    Thank you!

    Hello Miss,

    Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same behavior in read-only?

  • Cannot change attributes read-only files, by updating the drivers help Driver Whiz from HP.

    I'm updating some drivers help Driver Whiz from HP.  The new drivers download but will not be installed.  Apparently, I need to remove the read-only file attributes, but no matter what I do it continues to change the next time I have access to the file to read-only.  Any ideas?

  • READ-ONLY FILE INDICATOR OVERLAY

    Hello

    is it possible to configure Windows 7 to display a read-only indicator or an overlay on the icon of the file?

    I want to distinguish all the files read-only on the other hand, whenever I open a folder.

    Thanks for any help,

    Enrico Migliore

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    There is no such an indicator, read only files is visible by opening it, is not any icon seprate for read only files. There might be some third party tools that can help do that, however, microsoft does not recommend.

    Hope this information was useful.

  • 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!

  • I have a problem with all the files and folders on the computer appearing as 'read only '.

    Original title: scourge, each folder and file on each disc are read only and I can't change an any of them

    What happens on my main server. When I choose to change something to read only to normal, he said read only status of disabled, but if I try to change the file or folder I can't change it and if I re - check its properties I find once again, it is read-only. I looged as the admin and I tried everything to put the file or folder read-only point and nothing happening. I plugged a flash drive for only to find that it was read-only.

    Full Scan Virus and there are 10 viruses in my computer, 8 of the virus could be eliminated by removing the leader and two of them were to be eliminated by deleting the infected file.

    The result is that my computer works fine now!

  • Turning point for read only files

    Folders with subfolders and those without, keep going 'read only' even if with a click right/properties I continues to turn off the read-only.  Why is this?

    By its design.

    The box greyed out for a folder means basically nothing, no change, waiting to be used. This is because read-only in the properties of the folder is only used to apply or remove the setting of all the files in the folder read-only at the same time. If you clear the check box and click on apply, then the files in the folder will be deleted from all they have read-only attributes. Like wise, to check the box to apply the attribute to all files.  The place appears again the next time because, once more, you have not used.

  • disarm read only of invalid property - all mean read only files

    Windows Vista Home premium, I reorganized some folders between 2 users (mother and daughter) and now all files and folders appear to be read-only and I can save is no longer with applications Ms. Also when I right click to change permissions... it seems to apply to all files and folders, but after has been taken, no effect.

    just to add effect... my virus Trojan virus program does find and puts the files in quarantine a few per day I delete... I think it's just part of the environment...
    Thank you

    The reading box only file says that for an indefinite period. It's a tri-state checkbox. Read has no effect on the behavior of a file that records cannot be read-only. The box does not read only bit on a file.

  • 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
    Dennis

    OK, looks like I fixed it. I found that even though I have my computer set up to run all updates automatically I checked windows update and found five that had not been installed. After that I ran the update now can I copy files to my SIN again.

  • Load STL geometry cannot load read only file

    I use the geometry VI STL load to load a 3D model that I use in a scene.  A constant path pointing to the file is connected to the entrance of the template of the VI.  If the file is read-only, the VI does not load, but opens a file dialog box instead.  If the file is not read only, everything seems to work properly.  This is expected behavior?  I don't think not that just load the file must depend on whether or not it is read-only.  Is it possible to use a single reading file in this situation?

    Hi cbfsystems,

    You are right that this is not the expected behavior of this particular vi.  It is a known problem that is aware of our R & D department.  For your reference, the number associated with this question is #281409.

  • Eliminate the 'read only' files on DVD. Went to properties and clicked off the coast on the 'read only' box, but it does not work.

    Put some files on DVD and then tried to change them.   Receipt message they are 'read only' tried to click on 'read only' in the properties, but this does not work.  The 'read only' is back.  How can we change the files on a DVD?

    In general, once you write multi-utilisations, you can not edit the file.  If you use a rewritable media, you can delete the file and write again.

    DVD writing (burning) is not present natively by XP.  What application you are using, including version?  Support for packet writing?
