Windows Forum / Windows Vista / File Management / June 2006Files Marked as "Read Only"
When I upgraded my computer to Vista it marked all of my files in "My Documents" as "Read Only". I can access and save documents in these files from my computer as though they are not "Read Only", however when I attempt to access thes files from another computer (Running Windows XP) on my home network I am not able to save into these files and get a message on the other computer that they are "Read Only". When I attempt to remove the "Read Only" designation from the files Vista goes through the process of doing this, but when I reopen the files they are still designated as "Rean Only". Has anyone else seen this problem and do you have a solution? > When I upgraded my computer to Vista it marked all of my files in "My > Documents" as "Read Only".

I have the same problem, and haven't found the solution yet.  Signaturecf Hello, In Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network File and Printer Sharing: Do you have the Network Access option set to "Anyone who can connect to my network"? - JB Yes, it is set to anyone who can connect to my computer. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > - JB Try these steps to see if it helps ... this works for the Public folder, but I think it should also work in your case. If you set Network Access to "Anyone who can connect to my network" and have shared folders that allow write access, you must follow additional steps to get write access to work properly. *These steps are necessary due to bugs in Windows Vista Beta 2, and should not be necessary in the future.* Step 1: - Click start - Type: cmd - Right-click cmd when it appears under Programs - Click run as administrator - If prompted for permission, click Continue - Type: net localgroup users guest /add - Press enter Step 2: - Click Start - Click Computer - Double-click on the drive with the windows logo in it (should be first one listed) - Right-click the Users folder - Click Share... - Click Advanced Sharing - If prompted for permission, click Continue - Make sure there is a checkbox next to "Yes, share this folder" - Click Permissions - Click Add - Type: Everyone - Press enter - Click the checkbox next to Full Control under Allow - Press OK - Press OK - Press OK NOTE: If you were browsing your Vista computer when you made these changes, you may have to restart the computer you were browsing from to notice these changes. |
