NoReadOnly

[Frank Bohan]

I had a program which added a facility to the right-click menu to remove the
"Read Only" attribute from all files in the folder. I've lost the program
and can't remember its name. Can anyone help.

Susan, most of these little programs clear the Read Only attribute, but
do not have the ability to change to another attribute, I like to remove
Read Only, then change to Archive. I use Properties Plus, the old
reliable, does a very nice job on that.

Oops - scratch that. It was on the PL, it's not on the CD.

Mike,

If you want a really small shell that does what you indicate above
(Read Only) and (Archive), I just posted a very small shell program
(4kb)
that does only that. The name of program is FPLock- Unlock. The name
of the posted file name is FPLock.zip.

You don't need a program. Just right-click the files' parent folder and
untick "Read only" and then click "Apply".

 

[Al Klein]

If there's still a problem, post, and I'll mangle a program of mine
that does other things so you can set or reset any attribute bit on a
file.

untick "Read only" and then click "Apply".

I think Frank wants to save time changing attributes on lots of files
at once.

Thanks, Zo. But my server does not see binaries groups.

Can you try (IIRC) usendit links?

That is correct, but I'm glad to say that I've found the program (which I
had all the time but had forgotten the name). It is:

CROA http://davidcrowell.com/Croa.aspx

It puts "Clear Read-Only" attributes on right-click menu. Clicking on it
clears read-only on all files in the folder and sub folders. Thanks to all
for responses.
