| 208376 | 2004-01-19 02:23:00 | I've formatted my computer and reinstall all the stuff I needed. All my files are now "Read only". How can I change it to "read" without making a copy of each file, you know the process of: Save as, Rename the file, ect.? It take ages to do it in this way. | Jakkie (1395) | ||

| 208378 | 2004-01-19 02:41:00 | Depending on your OS version you might be able to use the DOS ATTRIB command to fix this. At the top level (C:\) "attrib -r *.* /s " should do it. | Graham L (2) | ||
