A little help, please. How do I edit a file I created and saved, without having to rename it every time I save it? Further, how do I actually changed the Read-Only property on folders.
I, and only I, have an account on this PC I bought directly from the vendor. Win 7 64bit. My account is of type 'Administrator', which claims 'Administrators have complete access to the computer and can make any desired changes.' Yet I cannot change the 'Read-Only' status on folders, and now, having created a simple text file, and edited it unmercifully yesterday, today, I can open it but cannot save it:
'File/Device may be ReadOnly, or open for write by another application. Use 'Save As' to save as a different name'.
I've gone to the folder's properties: Read-Only.
Administrators have 'Full Control' (hah!) but the Read-Only solid-fill box returns even after cleared and 'Apply'ed. The file is not listed as Read-Only. No other apps are running that could have a hold on this file.
I miss XP's version of 'Administrator has 'complete access'...cause then it was actually true.
This drives me nuts from time to time. Finally time to put a stake through it. And buying a third-party package should not be the solution, right Microsoft?
