Please tell me why my copy wizard or manager always copies my files with an r
(read 0nly) attribute?I use a lot of r/w disks and it will not let me delete
files. I was raised with xtree gold and now ztreewin in dos and I even went
there to solve this.It would not even let me move or delete the files or the
attributes telling me access denied.I refuse to have my computer tell me I
have no access to change files.Please tell me how to correct this and regain
control of my files. T Y................Ray

Because XP does not have the ability to rewrite to CDRW...therefore it
treats it like a CDR
You need a program Like Nero's INCD which is capable of formating the CDRW
in UDF file format.
There are other program capable of this ..search for Packet writing software

I have to confess I rarely used a cd, but I think it depends on the cd
writing app being used.
ie if you use an app like Nero you have more options in the 'format' being
written to on the cd

It depends on the CD program that you use. A CD\RW can be erased and re -written but
not a CD\R. Which program are you using to write to the CD RW

r/w disks: What are those? Could they be perhaps CD or DVD media? If
so, that is READ-ONLY media. To burn files onto them requires burning
software. That they are writable means a program must use a special
mode to write files to that normally read-only media.

When you copy files onto read-only media, it gets the read-only
attribute. When you copy files from read-only media, the read-only
attributes remains on the file. You have to remove the read-only
attribute after copying the file *off* the read-only media.
