Re: read only folder on Windows

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Make sure you are using NTFS, not FAT32!

Hi Larry,


There is no security property page for a folder. I am using Windows XP SP2
Professional Edition. Any ideas?


regards,
George

The read-only attribute on a folder simply means you can't delete the

you set its read-only attribute, choose the "Security" tab instead. You
can
Google for the details of how to actually make the folder "read-only".
You
should also heed Alexander's advice and test with a real CD as well (or
whatever read-only media you're using). In practice your code should
behave
the same in both cases (usually) but you never know what differences you
might encounter until you actually try it.
