Please lose the caps. It's considered yelling, is incredibly rude and makes
your posts very hard to read.

This is by design. Files saved to a CD are, by definition, read only. The
burning applet in XP cannot packet-write, so whether you've formatted the
disc with InCD is immaterial. You must save files to the disc using a
third-party application if you wish to packet-write. You will need to copy
the files back to the hard drive if you wish to change the attribute.

Typing in all caps, top-posting and multiple posting?

You are now in every killfile on the planet.

You are a loser.

I didn't realise he'd multiposted - but I'm right with you - the guy's an
idiot!
