• 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:

  Believe, otherwise, the 'Read only' attribute has nothing to do with 'read only' for folders in Windows XP.  It actually refers to a custom folder.  To change the access permissions, you must right-click on a folder, select 'Properties', then select the security"" tab.  If you do not have a Security tab, it's either because you have XP Pro and 'Simple file sharing' enabled, or you have XP Home, and you are not an administrator mode without failure.  The following items should enlighten you...

• Error read-only during the Windows XP networking with a Windows Vista-based computer

  Help, please.  We have set up a working group, the destop with Windows XP behaves as the server and laptop with Windows Vista is the other computer.

  We can share and open all files.

  The problem is with a mortgage loan software. (Chalice)  On the Vista computer, when you try to open a file, we get the error "the file is used by someone else.  You want to open the file in read-only Mode? "We have worked with their Tech Support who insists on the fact that it's a Microsoft set up the problem with the server computer.  In their diagnosis, they say that the cause may be "the server has locked files or you don't have full access to the records.  Their Technical Support remotely connected to our two computers and verified that we have the network set in place correctly-"everyone" has full control of the files.  Both computers have disabled the Windows Firewall.  How can I check if the file is locked by the server?  And why would he block specifically for mortgage loan software?  Any other troubleshooting help would be most appreciated.  They have guaranteed that this software can run on both Windows XP Vista computers & a set.

  Another question - when I right click on the folder that this error message, and then click Properties, on the general tab, attributes, the 'Read only' box is populated with a solid green box.  It can also be a check mark or a cache.  I deleted the solid green box and tick, apply settings, but still no luck.  What is the difference between the solid green box and the checkbox for that?

  Thank you to those who can help - we are really at a loss!

• How can I make an external USB drive read-only?

  I'm trying to find a solution to take a USB HD in a spacing classified environment / air.  If I can make the drive read-only (like I gave him that I need to copy on these machines), then the Agency will probably approve the device.  I can't use DVDs that data are 30 + GB in size.

  Hey there, capsfanva!

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It seems you need to set permissions on an external USB drive or hard drive. These permissions setting is a great way to improve the security and privacy of these elements. You've come to the right place and you will find the answer below.

• Profile of preferences given to 'Read only' after having turned it off.

  I can't start Firefox. He said: it is already running. The Task Manager shows all running instances. There is no "parent.lock" file '... default' folder. Every time I look at the preferences for the 'profile' folder, it shows 'read only' is defined. I erase it and next time I look at the 'read only' preferences is set.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but it always resets "read only". Looks like the profile folder has something corrupt in it.

  Only a check mark in the box read-only means that a file or folder is read-only.
  
  Windows does check all files in a folder displays, instead of a green block to indicate that it is not safe.
  
  Always look at the files individually.
  
  Easier to do, it's to make the visible attributes in the mode "view details >": choose details in Windows Explorer.

  One possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or limits Firefox or plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

  Delete all rules for Firefox in the list of permissions in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

• How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

  Hello

  I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

  I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

  Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

  I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

  Thank you very much

  Dougal

  I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
  Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

  Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.

• Removal of 'Read only' problem Windows 7.

  I want to remove the read-only form a game folder - void / files etc, I do via folder properties menu and it indicates that changes have been made (window comes up with bar grey fillings up to green) and yet I come back and it's like I have nothing. I want to just delete a few old stops and changes to some of the maps (there are a map editor). The game is Civilization III complete. I read somewhere on how to solve this problem through the command prompt, but it did not work... any help? I can't find the 'Saves' folder in the folder of the game. It seems ingame, but outside of the game, I thought that the path is not... This has also to do with the attribute "read only"?

  You can try to run the program as "Administrator" by right-clicking on the icon from the desktop or the .exe file of the game in the game folder, select "Properties" then the "Compatibility" tab and placing a check mark in the box "Run as Administrator" at the bottom of the Panel. This should, in theory, give the game the ability to write but also to read.

• 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.

• Impossible to delete some files on windows vista (read-only cannot be deselected, either)

  Right... excuse me for grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch. So there you go.

  I am a user of Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I uninstalled World of Warcraft yesterday, and there are two files that I can't remove, no matter what I try. If I want to delete them, I first get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/483/eerstdit.PNG

  Can I get something I can't print screen for a reason, telling me to give my permission as an administrator of the laptop. What I'm doing. Then, I get this:

  http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1054/endandit.PNG

  Remains and stays and stays (you get the picture), no matter how many times I click on 'Retry '. Of course, when I press cancel, it stops completely, and the files are still there.

  == Fun facts (or something like that) =.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7725/mapwb.PNG

  None of the files are marked as "read-only":

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6421/FileProperties.PNG

  But the plan is amrked as such... However, the name of the map can be changed. (As seen when I changed it to 'h' instead of 'World of Warcraft' to see if it would somehow effect). The names of the files, however, cannot.

  http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9439/mapproperties.PNG

  When I try to change the map to 'no read-only', simply unchecking the box and try 'apply' or 'ok', I get the same response from the computer I get when I try to delete the files: no way I'll do .

  I tried to do since the mode without failure of the laptop with the same exact results. I am the only admin on the computer (in fact, I'm the only account outside the 'guest' one) and Yes, I am enrolled in the two-person-list, who is an administrator (which is strange in itself, because, as I said, the other account should not exist even) have the files.

  Of course I can't open the files, because the programs they were running with disappeared with uninstalling WoW.

  And this is my story. If nobody here knows, suggestions to other places that they might know are also welcome.

  Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

  If this does not work, it may be a permissions problem.  Try to give permission in their own right and also appropriate.  Here is information on how to do these two things:

  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/.

  If this does not work, try to reinstall WOW and then uninstall it with Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html instead of using the option to uninstall Vista (Revo does a better job and can cope with these two files during the process).

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• I am trying to remove the "read only" attribute of the file, that I had just downloaded in Windows Vista

  Original title: administrative account - change a read-only file

  Administrative account: I would like to change a file I am trying to download on my computer.  I don't know how my administrator account to change the file, I am trying to open - fly a read-only.

  Hi auddie,.

  1. What is the error you get when you try to open the file?

  I suggest that you take the file and check.

  a. right click on the file you want to take control and then click Properties.
  b. click the Security tab and then click OK on the security message (if one appears).
  c. click Advanced and then click the owner tab.
  d. in the name list, click your user name, click Administrator, if you are logged in as administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the replace the owner of sub containers and objects check box.
  e. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

  You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

  All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes.

  Note: the name of the folder is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

  . Click OK, and then re apply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

• Accessing the PDM in read-only mode

  Hi all.

  I have a Pix with ver 6.3 and I want to allow access to the customer in read-only mode.

  I usually don't use aaa and privileges to avoid locking issues, but now it seems that I have to face the issue.

  I have 2 questions:

  A. is the next plan safe (enough) to avoid blocking?

  1. username admin password * priv 15

  2. username pdmuser password * priv 5

  3 aaa authentication http LOCAL console

  4. level 5 privilege control?

  B. what shoul commands assign the privilege 5 level to allow the user see the welcome and the tracking completely Page?

  Thank you

  Michele

  Hi Michele,

  A. Yes, it is safe and sufficient not to lockout the pix. Infact, your console/telnet will not be affected, only the PDM with the above configuration in place.

  B. There are three levels different priv for PDM, monitor (level 3), read-only (level5) and admin (level 15). So level monitor is all that he needs to go to the Home Page and monitoring page. Here is the procedure:

  Turn on the AAA for PDM:

  -System Properties

  -Admin Pix

  Authentication/authorization

  -Check HTTP/PDM

  -Select service LOCAL group

  -Box ENBALE AUTHORIZATION

  -Select service LOCAL group

  Creatting users:

  -User-> user with level 15 and 3 (monitor) account

  Thank you

• 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.

  Hello. For some reason I'm not able properly to uncheck the 'Read only' attribute of a folder in my "Program Files (x 86)".

I have Windows 8. He continues to do this and I don't know why. Help, please?
