Re: Properties/readonly disabling?

Hi,

If you are referring to the "read only" attribute seen in a folder's properties then you should ignore it just like Windows does. It's not actually an option at this level, it appears to be there but is actually greyed out. "Read only" is a file attribute, not a folder attribute and is not recognized as such by the OS.

Hello there. I am getting tried of programs/something enabling the
read only attribute, and it takes time to determine whether it is the
Antivirus, Firewall or whatever prog. has decided to do so again.

Can I disable this feature completely from a non boot hard drive or
partition. For example keep the Read-only, Hidden and Archive
checkboxes permanently unchecked.

Thanks for your interest,

Terry
