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.

  • READ-ONLY FILE INDICATOR OVERLAY

    Hello

    is it possible to configure Windows 7 to display a read-only indicator or an overlay on the icon of the file?

    I want to distinguish all the files read-only on the other hand, whenever I open a folder.

    Thanks for any help,

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community.

    There is no such an indicator, read only files is visible by opening it, is not any icon seprate for read only files. There might be some third party tools that can help do that, however, microsoft does not recommend.

    Hope this information was useful.

  • Unable to turn off the read-only

    I tried to turn off the read-only on a folder in my Program Files (x 86) folder so I can edit a file for a game.  I tried everything I can find on the internet without success.  Here's what I did until now (I'm on an administrator with maximum permissions account):

    1. I tried to uncheck the read-only box.  Whenever I close the properties and reopen, it is checked again.

    2. I tried to run the attrib - r + s function cmd as admin, but nothing has changed

    3. I ran a chkdsk, still nothing

    4 changed property in the security properties, as well as assuring you of my account has full permissions with all of the Program Files (x 86) folder. I then tried again the first 2 steps, is always checked.

    Anything else I can try?

    What you need to do is Notepad opened by right-clicking on the Notepad icon and then selecting run as administrator.

    Then, while in Notepad, open the .ini file.

    Change it and then you will be able to save him.

  • Active DataGuard: ora-16000 database opened for read-only access

    Hi all

    Application, I get the error message "ora-16000 database opened for read-only access, while my primary database is up/open for read/write." When I stopped the standby database, the application works very well.

    Please suggest what could be the reason and the solution for the same.

    I wouldn't be sure if tha applies to your scenario. What you might want to check is this host = xxxx in your tnsnames file points to the right machine or resolve the correct IP addresses. Perahps you have confused primary and standby.

  • Backup error ReadyNas DUO - «read only file system»

    Hello community,

    I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night, it is running a backup job that copies a file from a computer on the local network to the NAS itself. What often happens is after a reboot for a while, things work sometimes days, sometimes weeks. But then I get e-mails warning that contains journal like entries:

    CP: cannot create the file ' / backup/projecten/./CAM_strip/01_v0.1.JPG': read-only file system

    Usually this warning is given for each file (which means thousands) so that emails are big enough. And obviously the backup has not been made. I tried to solve this problem and sought similar questions on this forum and on the web, but nothing helped. I can't identify what is the cause.

    Maybe you could help me the grace to some of the run settings, I can tinker too. I guess it has something to do with the ownership and rights to access these files and folders.

    Thank you!

    Hello Miss,

    Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same behavior in read-only?

    Forward to your response.

  • Photos appear as read only files

    cannot remove the read-only my vista jointsdans.

    I can't remove the read-only my files (at least in the photos).  It is provided with a solid box, not a check mark and I can't remove it.  I need to edit and print photos, and I don't know what to do.  The only software I have installed is a HP printer wireless on my home network.

    Hi HeatherSt,
     
    -Have you noticed this change after you install HP printer software?
    -Were you able to edit photos without any problems before?
    Is there another account administrator user on your computer?
     
    Note: It is possible that change a read-only file can cause a program that relies on the file to stop working properly, so be sure that it's okay to change a read-only file before you proceed.
     
    Cannot change files read-only, but they can be copied, moved, renamed, or deleted. Therefore, try to Rename the file or perform one of these operations and check if that helps.

  • DBMS - data not visible for read only account users.

    I created below to know the status of my lots which run on server every Sunday.

    It works fine and I am able to get the information.
    now, to make it visible for read only account users - using «grant select» I gave access and created also means public.

    but it shows only the names of columns in read only account data.

    How to make this visible to read only account?

    Please guide.

    Views USER_ will have only the objects owned by the user executing the query... In your case, it will be only schedules made by the user.

    You will need EU ALL_ or view s/n (all_scheduler_job_run_details)

  • Load STL geometry cannot load read only file

    I use the geometry VI STL load to load a 3D model that I use in a scene.  A constant path pointing to the file is connected to the entrance of the template of the VI.  If the file is read-only, the VI does not load, but opens a file dialog box instead.  If the file is not read only, everything seems to work properly.  This is expected behavior?  I don't think not that just load the file must depend on whether or not it is read-only.  Is it possible to use a single reading file in this situation?

    Hi cbfsystems,

    You are right that this is not the expected behavior of this particular vi.  It is a known problem that is aware of our R & D department.  For your reference, the number associated with this question is #281409.

  • Keep records for read-only reset

    I uploaded a few photos from my iPhone using the cloud and kept that find whatever program I opened in, the computer would not save changes as it said that the file or folder is read-only.  I checked the file by clicking on properties and ensure that the read-only box has been disabled.  Then, I checked the file do the same thing and found that the folder itself has been set to ReadOnly.  I then unchecked that hit 'apply' and then returned to the folder for editing photos, but it's the same thing.  Then, I went to the propeorties folder and found he had turned to read-only.  I thought that reading only may be applied to a higher level, namely my pictures or My Documents, which he was, if I disabled and it is simply coming back again!  I was wondering if there was a way to fix this or if there is a higher level than I can uncheck the read only options for if that's what is behind each photo be read-only.

    No. I thought maybe iCloud still had the file to open.

    You can check the permissions to make sure that you have write access to the files.

  • Read-only files

    I work in a company as a junior web developer framework. Of the organization that I work a large site that is run by my team, but we also employees in the different divisions (KC) update their own sections of the site.

    Since I started working here, we were faced with a problem of our files being changed to 'Read only' after their verification using Dreamweaver. Since we have cuts of KC also updated the site, they send me several times a week asking me to change the permissions of the file they would like to work. I looked everywhere for a solution to this but have had no luck. I hope that someone else has had this problem before or would be able to point me in the right direction.

    Thank you

  • I can't change the read only files on my NAS unit.

    I have a promise SmartStore MS4300n Network Attached Storage system that I have used for more than two years. I can access it from my Windows Xp and my 64 bit Windows 7 computer. Yesterday, I tried to move some files from my Win 7 to the NAS and I find that I can't copy on it. I can move my Win 7 7 NAS files. When I look at the properties of the files on the NAS, they all are now READ ONLY. When I try to change it tells me I don't have permission. I am the only user and I am logged in as admin. Yet once it has started here yesterday.
    If I access the NAS since my XP I can copy data to the NAS even if properties files are READ only.

    The problem is clearly with WINDOWS 7, how to fix it, it work well before and I need to use this device to check my belongings.

    Thank you
