When I uncheck "read only" on a folder, it will not be checked. Help!

I moved a file of data to a new partition.  The program, I am running of this partition should write to the folder, but the attribute is "read only." When I right click on the folder and uncheck the 'read only' that will change the attribute and it will do the same on the subfolders.  However, when the file is closed and come back, he is still "read only."  As a result, the program that I use cannot work properly.  I know this has something to do with permissions but do not know what to do next. I am the only user on my pc with Vista Home Premium installed at home.  Any tips, suggestions or alternatives?  Thank you.

Found my own answer.  Vista requires programs to install with "Run as Administrator" to have all the folder permissions.  So, I reinstalled my program using 'Run as Administrator' and moved the data folder to the target disk.  The folder moved with all permissions, and everything's fine.  Hope this helps someone else!

  • 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.

  • cannot deactivate an attribute read-only on a folder

    Hello

    I have a folder with the read-only attribute marked with a blue square and tagged (applies only to files in the folder).

    When I try to delete it, he's going right through to the subfolders and files, but ultimately the blue square is always there.

    I am the owner of the folder and have full permission.

    I also tried with the attrib command, but that has not changed anything.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi stefca,

    By default, the attributes: read-only (applies only to files and folders) will be there. Although the subfolders in the main folder would have access to read and write.

    Also if you want to remove the permission to read the file, then you must change the permissions. Follow the steps for the same:

    i. right click on the folder

    II. Select Properties

    III. Select Security tab.

    IV. click on edit

    v. check the Deny option to read.

    VI. click on apply, and then click OK

  • Signatures - when I 'mark read-only' file is too large

    I use Adobe 9 Pro to create a form and it works fine. When I change the properties 'signed' by 'mark read-only' that the user fills fields, it makes the file grow to a huge 2 + MB file.

    Any ideas on how to do this cut down? My next step will be to allow Adobe reader to be able to save the form, but it is too large to be usable in its current state.

    OK, I went to my original copy that was 'weak' so I clicked 'Save as optimized'; highlight "fonts" and checked "do not désincorporer any what font"; clicked 'OK' saved as a new file and then changed my signature to read-only options and saved as an active player and it is now 591 KB instead of 2258 KB.

    Thanks to me through the steps.

  • Index.HTML is read only file, can be seen but not changed, how do I cancel the setting?

    Hi, I don't know when or how I made this file "read only".

    For this reason, I am unable to put it on a server, please help.

    Dreamer101.1

    Is the file on your hard disk or on modified such as a CD - R media?

    If it's on your hard drive, right click and select Properties (or get information on Mac). In Windows, uncheck the 'read only' and click on apply. In Mac open sharing and permissions drop-down, click the lock and enter your password (if necessary), and then set each user the privileges of the name & read/write, and then close the info window.

    If it's on a CD - R, you must copy it to your hard drive so it can be modified and put it on a server.

     $('input:not([type="text"])').attr('disabled',true);

    And of course, you do not disable if hidden items

     $('input:not([type="text"],[type="hidden"])').attr('disabled',true);
