• Remove the read-only attribute from all files in a folder

  How to remove the read-only attribute from all files in a folder. I tried to use the properties and used the attrib command, but all I see is when I right click on the folder, selecting Properties, it shows once again

  

  I followed the forums, but I'm really confused. Can someone help me with this. Thanks in advance

  I would like to start by finding which file is read-only again. This is probably a file as well as a miniature file desktop.ini.  An easy way to find it is to go to the details view, turn on the column heading "Attributes" and search for all files with the attribute value "R":

  In this example, the key of SB file is read-only:

  

• Writing javascript code to a box that when activated, it removes the read-only attribute in another area and allows a number against the default calculation that occur.

  I have an order entry form that calculates a sum of $ calculate markup by a formula in the section rating field simplified in the field on the tab properties.  The field of markup is set to read-only.  I also have a configuration like a checkbox.  If the user selects the check box, I need this field of markup to become editable (remove the read-only attribute) to allow a number to be entered in the field.  I guess I'd also need programmatically delete the calculation in the simplified field notation when the box has been activated.  I think I need a custom java script to trigger on mouse enter?  I could also use some help setting java script.  Someone has it all done something similar?

  Thanks in advance.

  You can no longer use the method of the "simple field notation" If you change the field in certain situations. The following script assumes that you just want to add two fields and use 25% of this amount as your markup, unless the box named "CheckBox" is checked, then the field will become editable and you can enter what you want:

  // get the state of the "CheckBox" - modify the field name to match your form
  var cb = this.getField("CheckBox");
  
  if (cb.value == "Off") {
      // Checkbox is unchecked, so perform the calculation and make sure the field is read-only
      event.target.readonly = true;
       // simple calculation - you need to modify this
      var result = (Number(this.getField("Field1").value) + Number(this.getField("Field2").value)) * 0.25;
      event.value = result;
  }
  else {
      // Checkbox is checked, so do not modify the value, set the field to read/write and let the user enter anything they want.
      event.target.readonly = false;
  }

• 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/

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• 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.

• Unable to copy files... Read only problem?

  A few weeks back, I noticed that I couldn't copy or access certain files on an external hard drive.  If I tried to copy the files to another drive, only a few files copy and then she quit.  Finally windows could not even see the external hard drive.  It is this same thing on three different computers. I assumed it was a problem of hard drive and that it was not...

  At the time it seemed that I could access the files on all computers.

  Today, however, I tried to copy photos on my camera and it's the same thing. He copied some files and then abandoned. I then tried to copy the files to my laptop and it's the same thing.

  It seems that all folders on all three computers are 'read only' and if I uncheck it automatically re-itself allows to...

  Any ideas as to what could be the problem?  This could be something to do with the parameters of authorization on the computers?

  Thanks for your help.

  Edit: I tried simply to copy the files from th again. During which I repetedly went to folder properties and off to read-only and it was able to copy most of the files, the only exception is a large 100 MB video file +... This looks very similar to what was going on with my external hard drive...

  Whatever the problem is, it isn't the read-only check box.  In XP, the 'Read only' checkbox in the properties is associated with a custom folder and has nothing to do with the write protect.  A good explanation is in this article:

  "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 >

  Is the number of characters in the path to the file?  If you have directories within directories, etc., the number of characters in the path to the file can become large.  Windows has a limit of 256 bytes.  There are other more reliable means of copying the files.  Discover "Robocopy" (robust copy) that figure in the freeWindows XP Resource Kit .

• files copied to the CD in Vista appear in 'read only' on Windows XP

  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!

• HTML editor standard point read only problem

  I point standard HTML editor in my page and works well with rich text display. But, I need to show this item in 'read only' for some user roles. When I try to do that it does not show the RTF correctly, it displays these tags of rich text, for example, if the text is bold, then it shows the text < b > example < /b >, instead display the text in bold, if the element type is not 'read only', then it displays the rich text correctly. I would like to show the rich text as indicated by the user for 'Read only' condition also. any ideas are appreciated.
  
  Thank you
