Mp3s - read only

[ScottyB]

In XP is it possible to make a folder with some read only files display just the ones that are read only? I have some mp3s that are read only in my list and I want to uncheck all the read only boxes but I don't want to go through each ones properties.

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.

cd mp3 dir>
attrib -r *.*

This has worked in every Windows version since 95, and also works in XP. It's very helpful
