<< Ok so you have a directory with a few read-only files and you are trying to make them writeable but without having to do each file individually?
Well in NT you can just highlight all these files, "Read-Only" will appear as a gray checkmark which you can then unselect, setting everything to writeable.
I will test this at home with XP later, but I'd assume it would be the same. >>
This has worked in every Windows version since 95, and also works in XP. It's very helpful
