I am using windows 7 ult. - it keeps setting my files to read only - I uncheck the 'read only' in properities but it just keeps reseting it - I have also tried the 'attrib' cmd without any effect. Hope someone can tell me what to do.

What files? Where are they located?Rich

HiCan you stillwrite to the files ok. If you are looking at the properties of a folder then it does indicate read only but the files inside can still be written tomalc

Hi,What's the file? Sometimes the read-only attribute is by design. If you want to modify this attribute, I would like to share the following KBs, it may be helpful.You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7Unable to remove Read-Only attribute from folderBest RegardsDale

Using Windows7, I have the same problem with a Game mod. The file creator is the owner of the mod - all files are read-only and refusing to be changed with the procedure mentioned here. Another question needs to be answered: Does any download into such file will be correct? I am very grateful for some advise.
