Program Files - read-only

(It's using a Windows Vista computer)

I have a game that allows (and encourages) amending providing game scripts that can be modified. However, my computer I cannot save the changes. The properties of the folder of the game continues to be 'Read only', despite trying to change this all the way to Program Files on each folder. I uncheck the read-only box, apply the changes, choose apply these changes to all subfolders, give my permission to administrator to continue... and it seems to work... until I got close the properties for this folder and open it again, to see that the file is always read-only in Windows.

A way to work around this problem, or stop the folder properties to return?
Thank you =)

Hi Hyruslistic,
I recommend you to run a SFC scan to check on your file system corruptions.

follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

Post back with the results please.

  • File read-only attribute contains a solid green box in XP SP3__

    When I release read-only file and apply it everything seems correct. I have the option apply to all subfolders and the progress bar looks like it worked. When I return in the properties read only attribute button has a green block in it instead of being clear or active. I tried again and again to the output file, but he returned to play only immediately.

    The read-only attribute is not used for folders in Windows XP. That's why you see the green box and nothing moves. To take possession of the files/folders in XP:

  • Files read-only - changed settings but still problems!

    Hello
    I am editing a file from read-only to not read-only:
    I have a pictures folder that I'm trying to change with Windows Photo Gallery and save the original name, so to replace the original... but whenever I make changes, it says
    "Changes to this picture have not been saved. The file may be read-only, or you are not allowed to save to the location of the file. »
    I unchecked the read-only check box in the folder options and click on 'apply', but this did not help, because it still won't let me save the changes, and when I go back to the options of folder again the read-only box is checked again!
    Can anyone help? Thank you.

    The parameter 'read only' is an attribute of file having no real impact on the security settings of the individual files under it. You need to go to the Security tab of the folder properties and appropriately modify the permissions of the folder it.  In which case it's a remote shared folder you will need to do it from the computer sharing the folder, also change the share permissions to allow remote clients to write in it.

  • Files read-only on the network.

    Hello.  I use Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I have a home network with a second computer (Win XP pro) configuration.  My problem with my Windows 7 computer.  I can create and modify files it contains very well.  However when I access those files on the network, EITHER from the 2nd computer the same computer (which is connected to the computer 1, from computer1, via the network) they open read-only.  The curious symptom is that the files are read-only even when I connect to computer 1 to Computer1.  Any thoughts on this problem?

    -Files are not selected in their properties read-only.

    -There is only 1 account for both computers on the network, and this user is a member of the Administrators group.

    -This happens for all files.  I found an article about a known problem similar to Excel files.  I followed the instructions in this article, does not.

    -What happens when the files are located in C:\temp, C:\Users\\Desktop\temp and Documents C:\Users\Public\Public (supposed to be a shared folder).

    • re - initialize your new drive to the Mac format can read AND write, or

    • buy a utility that can read and write NTFS formatted drives.

  • Installer Help folder inside %Program Files% permissions

    So, I just created an installer on my Win7 machine, and I'm running into problems.

    Let's call my request "MyApplication.exe".

    The application is installed in "C:\Program Files\MyApplication"... which is great.  It also creates a couple subdirectories inside this folder that my application will use.  For example:

    C:\Program Files\MyApplication\Data

    C:\Program Files\MyApplication\Log

    My EXE needs create files and write to these subdirectories.

    The problem is that after installing, my EXE has no permission to write to these files.  I think that by default, Win7 Program Files read-only for average users.

    Is there a way that my installer can allow the files 'Data' and 'Log' only during installation?

    Voila!
