Unable to make an accessible folder writable in Windows Vista

I'm working on an Aspire 3690 laptop with Windows Vista Home Basic Service Pack 2. I installed EasyPHP - 5.3.3 to operate as WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL and PHP). And extracted CakePHP 1.3.3 in the root of the document that is located in c:\program files\easyphp-5.3.3\www\cakeblog\. The app\tmp folder and its subfolders have an attribute 'read only' and I want to remove this so that I can make records in writing.

The first thing I tried was to change the attribute of Windows Explorer. But whenever I make changes here changes don't stick.

The second thing I tried was to change the attribute of the command line. C:\Program files\easyphp-5.3.3\www\cakephp\app I tried the following: attrib - r + s tmp. After which, I confirmed the changes as follows: attrib tmp. And it returns the path of the folder and S as an attribute. "I have reload the application on my browser and still get the ' folder not accessible error in writing". When I open Windows Explorer there always the 'read only' attribute, and the command-line, there of the ' attribute. I also tried the following variations (which seem to all work on the command line, but the changes reflect ever on the browser or Windows Explorer):

  1. > attrib - r + s tmp
  2. > attrib - r tmp
  3. > attrib - r s tmp
  4. and all the open air with the following options added at the end: / s and / d
The result is always the same: app browser continues to consider not accessible files writable; Explorer Windows always considers not accessible files writable; and a control on the command line doesn't show any attribute of R.
I tried everything above on an elevated command line. Did not work.
I tried all the above after going in the Security tab of the folder properties and gave myself a total control over the records of said. I tried again to the user and the administrator. Did not work.
The last thing I tried was to climb to the next level and try to change these attributes thinking it's maybe a legacy issue. Nothing works.

Hello

See the following article for a description of what you see on these files.

326549 You cannot view or change the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7

I hope this helps.

  • Cannot view my folder / filenames in windows (Vista SP 2) Explorer

    Sometimes, the names of all the folders / files in a folder disappear. I can see only the thumbnails, but not the names. But this is not so in the list, the details or tiles of display type. And once they disappear, there is no way they will appear again. The only solution I found was by deleting the file that contains the problematic folder / files. There is no specific location / drive where this problem occurs.

  • SP2 is unable to download after failure of computer with windows vista home premium

    My computer crashed and I restarted after the DELL factory settings is a Windows Vista Home Premium but I can't seem to download the SP2 so that I can get IE9. I have SP1, but when I try to download the SP2 it tells me to get SP1.

    Please do not mark a reply as the answer unless it responds to your question.

    It is what is in my previous answer to check what level of Service Pack you have installed.

    «Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64 bit installed.»

    It will also tell you which SP you have installed. »

    · You did changes to the computer before the show?

    · What happens when you click the Yes button in the error message?

    · You are able to use the mouse on the system?

    I suggest you uninstall the software from programs and features and then try to open the properties of the mouse and check if you are able to open the mouse properties then I would you recommend to uninstall the drivers that are installed on the system in the Device Manager and then download the drivers from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

  • Unable to display the remote folder: the remote folder F:/wamp/www / "MYWEBSITENAME" / is not accessible or does not exist.

    In CS4, all of a sudden, I get the error "unable to display the remote folder: the remote folder F:/wamp/www /"MYWEBSITENAME"/ is not accessible or does not exist.»

    I'm in Manage Sites and test the file in the remote folder and it says "Dreamweaver connected to your web service successfully.

    I have not changed anything.  I had this once before a few years ago and just copied on the site of a new name and that fixed it, but it does not for the moment.

    Help.   Any ideas?  Thank you

    When you click the expand button in your files window, whose icon is selected in the upper part?

    The middle one is the test server (list of lightning bolt), if you try to download, you will need to switch to the remote server (standard search bullet list icon).

    If you do not have a local server running on a drive of F, and you try to put it on the test server, you will get an error saying: there is no. Is it happening?

    If you do not have a local server running on your F drive, remove the test server info, it is not necessary.
