There is no way to reset them, as such. There is no problem with "read-only"
file. You just open it and see it. The problem comes when you want to edit
the file.
You get a warning that this is a "read only file" You just Save as and give
it another name, just add something to the original name like Edited. This
new file will no longer be read-only.
