Read only setting is resetting to read only

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

I'm not real clear about how you do your work but you should ALWAYS copy the
file from the CD-RW to your hard disk, change the attribute, edit that file,
then copy it back to the CD-RW. It will automatically become a CD-RW when
you do that. It's supposed to.

Yes I am but even when I go back to my hard drive and look at files I plan
to
copy to my RW disk the settings they still show the green square lit on
read
only, it is not checked but it is lit.

You are working on files that are on your hard drive, aren't you?

I have a number of Excel files that I want to write to a RW disk so I
can
have someone else edit them. I keep running into the problem of read
only
being reset to ON even though I go through and reset it OFF. I have
checked
the Excel settings and they are OFF with no password req, The office
settings
are set so the the documents can be shared but I can't solve the Read
only
problem. This can't be a new hole, if anyone has the work around I
would
love to hear about it

Good morning JoAnn I took your advice and took the disk to another computer
and using Explorer copied a file to the hard drive, edited it on the hard
drive and renamed and saved it to the hard drive. Yeehaw I was able to edit
the file and save it. I then tried to save the new file to the RW CD and
was given the message that it could not save the file on the CD because the
folders on the CD were read only folders. So I figured maybe I should just
save it on the CD in no folder but it gave me the same response, I however am
making progress, which is a good thing.

love to hear about it

You don't save the file back to the CD either. Copy the file from the disk
to your hard drive. Work on it. Save it to your hard drive. Write (or
rewrite) to the CD with whatever software you are accustomed to using.

Good morning JoAnn I took your advice and took the disk to another
computer
and using Explorer copied a file to the hard drive, edited it on the hard
drive and renamed and saved it to the hard drive. Yeehaw I was able to
edit
the file and save it. I then tried to save the new file to the RW CD and
was given the message that it could not save the file on the CD because
the
folders on the CD were read only folders. So I figured maybe I should
just
save it on the CD in no folder but it gave me the same response, I however
am
making progress, which is a good thing.

I'm not real clear about how you do your work but you should ALWAYS copy
the
file from the CD-RW to your hard disk, change the attribute, edit that
file,
then copy it back to the CD-RW. It will automatically become a CD-RW when
you do that. It's supposed to.

Yes I am but even when I go back to my hard drive and look at files I
plan
to
copy to my RW disk the settings they still show the green square lit on
read
only, it is not checked but it is lit.

You are working on files that are on your hard drive, aren't you?

I have a number of Excel files that I want to write to a RW disk so I
can
have someone else edit them. I keep running into the problem of
read
only
being reset to ON even though I go through and reset it OFF. I have
checked
the Excel settings and they are OFF with no password req, The office
settings
are set so the the documents can be shared but I can't solve the
Read
only
problem. This can't be a new hole, if anyone has the work around I
