I've happily got my new supercharged PC up and running - thanks to those that have provided advice if I haven't said it already. However, I have a problem with MS Office. I have moved all my Word Documents from the old HD to the new one but every time I open one and change anything then try to save, it says the files is marked Read Only and I have to save under a new name. I've searched the Help files on the PC but cannot find anywhere on how to remove Read Only - plenty of advice on how to make a file RO! Even tried some of the MS online groups without success. ============================================================= When I've had this problem, I've had to use the old command line to fix it. The attribute has to first be set to read only (+r), even though it is already read only, and then removed (-r). I've never done it for a directory but I would think you could apply it recursively. You'd want something like (assuming an xp system): attrib +r C:/big directory/subdirectory /s And then attrib -r C:/big directory/subdirectory /s Have a look at: http://www.computerhope.com/attribhl.htm So you shouldn't have to do it one file at a time. drew ____ • The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM • ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: wdvltalk@lists.wdvl.com To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
