• Cannot change the properties of 'read only' files in xp

  Recently, I was not able to change the properties of 'read only' to my files. I click on 'Properties', uncheck the 'read only', press on apply, click OK. When I re - check the records they come up to 'read only' again. I can't find a way around it. It has stopped me to back up files, since I get the message that the files are 'read only' and cannot be changed.
  All solutions?
  Thank you

  The read-only attribute has never been applicable to files under XP. You can try to take ownership of files/folders instead.

• How to disable the USB port and change DVD drive to read-only?

  I have upgraded my Vista Home Premium from window to window 7 Ultimatum. I tried to disable the USB port and and change the configuration of DVD room to read only via the bios, but I wasn't able to do. The bios always the same, whether it was when I had vista.

• Impossible to change an attribute of read-only for the My Documents folder in Windows 8

  Problem:

  Everything I put in My Documents directory is converted into read-only, so all my files in this folder (especially my PDFs) cannot be opened OR downloaded/sent online. I tried to use cmd and Type attrib - r "c:\users\myaccountfoldername\documents" but nothing works, document folder still has that little padlock on its icon. I also gave everyone full access to this folder, but whatever I do, I can't change the property "read only". Even if I uncheck that manually in the properties, it continues to go back.

  I looked for a solution now and I still have solved it. I ignore it if I could, but I put a lot of important and frequently accessed files in my library of Documents, so I really need to get this figured out soon.

  I just bought this laptop about a week ago, it came with Windows 8. I'm not sure but I think that this problem happened to me when I joined the homegroup on my local network and began to share files so that I can transfer my old files from my old laptop.

  With this in mind, I tried also to leave the homegroup and restart. The Documents folder was read-only a minute or two after I restarted, but then it became like this again after some time.

  I know that it was designed for the safety of my files and everything, but what should I do with my 'secure' files, if I can't even open a simple PDF file?
  I am the administrator and the user account only on this laptop

  Platform:
  64-bit Windows 8
  Path in question:
  C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents

  I finally understood what was causing the problem! Apparently, he was in the Service of protection against theft by MacAfee (that I installed immediately after the purchase of my new laptop) encrypt all the files in the Documents folder and all the office files that I have! Which explains why no matter how many times I try to seize or delete and redo the folder my documents, it simply would not work. I finally uninstalled the hassle of a service and I can now access my files again :)

• Change a text based read-only to writable field on Drop Down selection

  I have a drop down list named "Terms of payment", there are three selections "Net 30", "45" Net, and 'Other' if the user selects another there is a text box that is read only format named "OPTDescription" which should be changed to read only write. "  In this text box, the user will describe other terms of payment.

  I tried to reuse the code I received previously for radio buttons, but it doesn't seem to work.  Here is my code:

  CHANGE A FIELD TO ONLY WRITABLE BASED ON MENU DROP DOWN

  var f = this.getField ("OPTDescription");

  {if(Event.Target.Value=="Other")}
  f.ReadOnly = false;
  f.fillColor = color.white;
  } else {}
  f.ReadOnly = true;
  f.fillColor = color.gray;
  }

  Make sure you only check the option to validate the value of the field drop-down immediately (under its properties - Options), and then use the above code as its custom validation script. Just change event.target.value to event.value .

• 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://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.

  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.

  http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5599/Openen.PNG

  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!

• Can't remove read only attribute even using the command "Attrib - r".

  I have my computer laptop configuration to dual boot Windows Vista and Windows 7.  I installed Windows 7 to see Vista, images, music files and videos Documents in its libraries.  These four files have become read recently that in Vista, and I can't remove the read-only attribute.  I tried to use the attrib command in command as suggusted in KB326549, but I get a message "access denied."  I want to be able to access these files from two operating systems so that I don't need to save the files on two hard disk partitions.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  Jon

  By default, you have only write access to folders and files located inside your user (c:\users\yourname) directory, some hidden folders, and any file that you created.

  The only time you need to write access to all files outside of this area is at this time do system administration or install a program.

  This can be done easily by running some tool or install the program you use "Administrator" by right-clicking on it and clicking Run as administrator, which allow the tool access to the system.

  It's the new way of doing things in Windows Vista - the system is locked, and only the programs you are running as an administrator or you request automatically the authorization are allowed to access your computer. This will prevent programs to access your computer without your knowledge.

  This command "Run As Administrator" is ideal to run on Windows Explorer and command control.exe (Panel).

  It is * NOT * recommended that you change the security settings to allow write access on the operating system created for files and folders, as this will significantly reduce the security of your system.

  So, in essence, it becomes a question of permissions/ownership.  Here's how to deal both:

  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/.

• 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/.

• Read-only resets, Highlighted and unaudited

  Vista...

  If I have a folder (or file) that is designated read-only, can I deselect it, apply, get out, pull up the properties close and it will be underlined again by itself.

  All my folders are defined in read-only on my desktop and I can't do everything to zero. They all come back to read only by themselves. Also, maybe the difference between files and folders, but my file Number boxes are put in evidence and files boxes RO are archived

  You need a control total and perhaps owner changes.  Are they really read-only when opened (or you are actually able to change or revise their despite the highlight or the box)?  This applies only to folders and desktop files or other files and folders as well (like those in your Documents folder)?  In Vista, a LOT of files and folders are marked read only intentionally by the program (unlike XP) for prevent editing system and other files/folders that should not be changed (at least not unless carried out by experts or management to experts).  This is usually not does not apply to office supplies (except maybe the settings.ini which you should leave alone).

  I have a primary database and one Active Data Guard standby database physical.  My read-only database users must be able to change their password for read-only standby.  I tried to create a stored procedure with an ALTER USER inside statement and then to have my user call the stored procedure of the unalterable standby by: MIMI EXEC. CHGPWD@PRIM ();

  This translates into:

  ERROR on line 1:

  ORA-16000: database opened for read-only access

  ORA-06512: at "MIMI. CHGPWD', line 27

  ORA-06512: at line 1

  How can I allow a user who cannot access the read-only database to change their password for read-only standby?

  Here my stored procedure:

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MIMI. CHGPWD IS

  -CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE CHGPWD IS

  sql_stmt VARCHAR2 (200);

  BEGIN

  sql_stmt: = 'ALTER USER MIMITEST IDENTIFIED BY 111111';

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt;

  END CHGPWD;

  /

  Ah, I got it!  I had to create a public synonym for my stored procedure, and then create another stored procedure and use the synonym.  This is explained in the documentation of Oracle packages and PL/SQL procedures coding under the section 'referring to remote objects.  Here is what I have from the beginning to the end (My SID is MIMI and the unique name on the primary is MIMI_A):

  Read-only mode ensures:

  ALTER SYSTEM SET GLOBAL_NAMES IS FALSE SCOPE = BOTH;.

  Elementary school:

  ALTER SYSTEM SET GLOBAL_NAMES IS FALSE SCOPE = BOTH;.

  CREATE THE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK MIMI_A.WORLD WITH THE HELP OF "MIMI_A";

  ALTER SYSTEM SET GLOBAL_NAMES IS TRUE SCOPE = BOTH;.  (I need to have this true on my primary game)

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MIMI. CHGPWD IS

  Working directory;

  BEGIN

  dbms_job. Submit (job,' BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "ALTER USER MIMITEST IDENTIFIED BY 666666";) END ;') ;

  END;

  /

  CREATE CHGPASS SYNONYM PUBLIC FOR MIMI. CHGPWD@MIMI_A.WORLD;

  CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MIMI. LOCAL_PROCEDURE IS

  BEGIN

  CHGPASS;

  END;

  /

  GRANT EXECUTE MIMI. CHGPWD TO MIMITEST;

  GRANT EXECUTE MIMI. LOCAL_PROCEDURE TO MIMITEST;

  Read-only mode ensures:
