  Hi JornSoer,

  We can try 2 things...

  1. click on start-> run, type &-> cmd-> ok. Now browse the path where your readonly file (easy to open file in my computer and copy the address, now in the command prompt, you can paste the path prefix cd.) It will be c:\ > cd .

  now Type-> attrib - r *. *

  This will remove all files readonly in the folder.

  You can check it by typing-> attrib

  now refresh your folder in my computer and check if it is not marked as readonly.

  2. you can try to take ownership of the folder again by the method listed in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421.

  I hope this helps. Option 1 can work for you...

• How to set, view, change, or remove special permissions for files and folders in Windows XP

  It is a problem with iTunes. About 8 months ago I had to reinstall my operating system. When I reinstalled iTunes, it does not recognize my music already purchased. He tells me that songs should be allowed, I put my username and password and it tells me that they are allowed.

  So I finally emailed Apple support recently. They suggested that this is a problem with the permissions on the iTunes Media folder. Apple support gave me the following URL address: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419/en-us.

  I followed the instructions on the Microsoft support site. But when I right click on the iTunes Media folder, and then click Properties, there is no security tab, with the following statement on the Microsoft Support site.

  I also tried the instructions for "If you are not joined to a domain and want to view theSecurity tab. "In Control Panel, I don't have the choice of themes & appearances. There is a choice of Folder Options, but once in the view tab, there is no choice ofuse simple file sharing.

• Unchecking read only attribute on files and folder, subfolders does not persist

  I'm trying to disable the read-only attribute in the properties of a folder in the file system.  I uncheck this attribute, I say, too, that he would do that by clicking on apply, then it does to all files, folders, and subfolders... etc and it does.  Then I click ok to close the properties box.  If I reopen it the properties box, the read only attribute is on again once.  I tried several times but keep having the same problem.  I am logged in as administrator.

  How to keep turning off the read-only attribute?

  Do you mean that the read-only box is blue? This does not mean that the read-only attribute is on.

• Files and folders stuck in read-only

  My folders and files stuck in read-only

  It would be useful that you told us how you know that they are stuck in "read only".
  For files, right clicking and selecting 'Properties' will reveal a "Read only" checkbox  Unlike what seems obvious, this box has nothing to do with a property read-only on a folder

  "You can not view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7"
    <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549 >

  The files are another matter.  How do you know that it is read-only and what you have tried to change it?  You have XP Home or Pro? Is active Simple file sharing?  What is the location of the files with that you have problems?  Error messages?

• where can I get additional icons for my files and folders in xp

  I need additional icons for my files and folders on windows xp is there a site where I can download for free and instantly put them in the folder icon

  Hi Robert,.

  I see that you want additional icons for files and folders in xp. I'll help you with this problem.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. what security software is installed on the computer?

  3. what icons are you looking for?

  I suggest using your favorite search engine and look for all Web sites for free icons. You can download the icons based on the category and the icon you want. If you have downloaded a package of any icon, click on the downloaded zip file. The file will unpack once you click on it and reveal the subfolders as 'PNG' "ICO" or "Readme." Click the folder for the ICO to reveal the different icons in the package. Click on one of the icons to see what it looks like.

  To make a shortcut to a folder and change the look of the shortcut icon:

  1 - Open my computer and locate the folder you want.

  2-click right on the folder and then click create a shortcut. If you are prompted to place the shortcut on the desktop, click Yes.

  3-click right on the shortcut you created, click Properties, and then click change icon.

  4 - Click on the picture of the icon you want the shortcut to use, click OK, and then click OK.

• I am trying to remove the read-only in a file of windows vista program

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with the program files in Windows Vista. I have a file that I need to be able to write to and I can't get out of the read-only mode. Can someone help me with this please?

  Thank you.

  You really shouldn't be messing around in the Program Files folder unless you REALLY know what you are doing, because the wrong action can cause a lot of damage to your programs (more than one in some cases).  You experience trouble intentionally caused by Vista.

  But assuming you want to do anyway for some reason, the said problem as a Teen geek is ownership and permissions.  They are particularly tight on the programs folder (and hard to get around even for people experienced in this sort of thing).

  You must you give full permissions and take ownership of the files or the folders that you intend to work with.  You may need to change the permissions of the parent due to inherited permissions folders.  You may also use the advanced permissions option to deal with special permissions (maybe change some while they are not inherited or others in order to provide the right permissions as well as the main permissions screen.  I don't know how long until you go to appropriating, but start with everything that you need and work upward only when necessary.  Here are a few guidelines for permissions and lines taken possession that should help you:

  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/

• Organize files and folders

  I am the only user and the owner of my computer.  Mr. Gates and Vista have decided how to organize my personal files and do me not have permission to move and organize as I wish - I get the message that I don't have permission to move videos from the folder my documents to the folder my videos.  I have not authorized to change the other settings on MY OWN computer, personal and private.  your FAQS don't answer this question.  I bought this computer with your HP operating system, yet your cat says that my product (within a year) does not qualify for support unless I want to enrich your coffers of $50.00 / hour - not even knowing if you can help - YOU ARE THIEVES - I HATE MICROSOFT MORE WITH EVERY 'IMPROVEMENT' YOU MAKE to YOUR OS.  I NO LONGER USE YOUR OTHER PRODUCTS AND WILL SWITCH TO LINUX INSTEAD OF GIVING YOU MORE MONEY TO WORSE ME WITH WINDOWS 7.
  Ware
  BILL GATES, MICROSOFT, the DEVELOPERS of WINDOWS - it's poor customer service.  I use the free and shareware programs that are as good or better than yours and allow me to configure and control my own computer - www.openoffice.org is better than MS Office.  www.Mozilla.org for firefox is better and SAFER than internet explore.

  GATES and MICROSOFT, you can be great now, but there is a growing reaction, and I hope to see you fall.  Your actions and your contempt for your customers and our desires will be your downfall.  the more you try and create a monopoly, competition more you are ending your rain.

  It sounds like a problem with permissions for me - what you want is possible.

  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/.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

  P.S. Personally, I am very happy with Microsoft and almost all of their products and will probably continue to use them.  Perhaps it is because I have been largely trained in their use and have some difficulties, do what I want.

• Files and folders invisible

  I have recently started using a computer with Windows XP 64 bit and have noticed that the records seem to "disappear" at will.  The folder and or file, I try to access is there, but neither Windows Explorer nor the program, I am trying to access find them since.  However, if I move on a 32-bit computer, the files and folders are clearly visible. I made sure that all hidder files or otherwise are set to be read.

  What can I do?

  Hi ndsmaug,

  1. have you tried to search for the folder?
  2. how many partitions you have?
  3. all partitions are visible in Windows XP 64-bit?

  Step 1: We recommend that you search for files and folders to see if the result of the research shows them.
  see How to search for files and folders in Windows XP .
  b. search for files and access.

  Step 2: Check if the problem persists in safe mode
  a. see the description of the options course in Windows XP Startup Mode
  Hit and b. Select safe mode enter.
  c. once the computer boots to the desktop successfully, check if files and folders are visible.
