Can anyone tell me how to stop Nero from setting all files to read only when copying to a CD

Thanks

Bazza recently suggested a simple, free download from
www.birdcagesoft.com

It doesn't stop Nero from setting files to read only, but after the files have been copied to the hard drive it deletes the read only.

I might suggest that you try InCD and format a CD-RW in the UDF format. that way they keep all the attrib's, be it read-only or not :-)

Enter command prompt:
Start > run > command.com for 95/98/me users
Start > run > cmd.exe for 2k/xp users [not sure for other versions]

Type:
Attrib path\*.* -r /s
Press enter

attrib = DOS or similair command which allows attributes to be changed
path = path to location to remove read only file attribute
*.* = Specifies a wild card which means that you can match any file
-r = remove hidden attribute
/s = include subdirectories

for additional information try attrib /? which will list options
