Hi y'all,
I moved some files instead of copying them (in XP home). I went to move
them back and couldn't. Got an error message saying the files were locked
or that I didn't have access permission. I am an admin on the system. I
checked the properties and there is no lock option, but the files show up as
read only. I try to uncheck the box, and it asks if I want to do it for
that folder only or all subs. I chose all subs. Doesn't work. Tried going
in changing attributes in command prompt/dos window. No good. Tried
copying in that same state. No good. Tried doing a disk check (just in
case of corruption). No problem reported. What am I missing?
Thanks.
Robert
