Change File Attributes:
You have a folder that when you try to save files to it, you get
an error message saying it's Read-only. Folder properties will
not let you uncheck Read-only.
Some folders are used for system folders and you can rename,
delete, etc. a folder even though it's Read-only. Some
application programs aren't able to save files in a folder
that's marked Read-only.
Use the command line to change the Read-only attribute. At the
command prompt, type attrib -r followed by the folder path and
name. For example, to remove the Read-only attribute from a
folder named MyFolder that's in the root of the c: drive, type:
attrib -r c:\MyFolder
Some programs will also refuse to save files in a folder that
has the system attribute set, so if your folder is also marked
as a system folder and you want to change that, you can do it in
the same way, using the command attrib -s followed by the folder
path/name (attrib -s c:\MyFolder).
Please Note: The Temporary Internet Files
are stored in a special sub-directory in your 'Documents and
Settings\MyUser\Local Settings' directory called Temporary
Internet Files. Because it is not a regular directory, it cannot
be read like a regular directory. A regular directory gives all
of the information that you would find when you use the DIR
command in a command prompt session. In order to keep track of
the TIF directory in such a special way, Internet Explorer will
create sub-directories with random letter/number combinations to
hold this information. An index.dat file keeps track of these
sub-directories; then, when you open Temporary Internet Files in
Windows Explorer, you'll think it was just one directory. The
Recycle Bin works in a similar way. You can delete files
out of the folder, but you cannot write to it. |
