I tried to modify/update files on my F:\Image drive and it would not let me
as it stated they were read-only access. I checked the file attributes and
the read-only box was not checked off. I then checked the folders they were
under and their read-only attributes were checked off and shaded in. I
unchecked the box and it looked like all the attributes were updated but
when I closed the window and went back in, nothing had changed and it was
still read-only. I highlighted my F:\Image drive, clicked on View, to
Customize this Folder and under General, the read-only file attribute box was
also checked and shaded. I cleared it like I did with the Folders and got
the same result. I then noticed in my C:\drive in My Documents, the folders
were read-only but the files in them were not and again, I cant modify any of
those files due to the error msg that they are read-only; they aren't but the
folders are. I am not sure what happened but I do know before that I was able
to modify/update any of my personal files on either drive regardless of what
folder they were in. I desperately need to fix this! Does anyone know how
to get rid of this read-only attributes??
Please note, I dont have a lot of computer knowledge so if you do make
suggestions (which I gladly welcome), please be very specific and then I can
follow it.
Am keeping my fingers crossed that all you computer gurus/ wizards can help
me out.
Thanks!!
