You cannot view or change the Read-only or System attributes of a folder by using the Properties dialog box for the folder. For example, you may experience the following symptoms:
When you view the General tab of a folder's Properties dialog box, the Read-only check box is not available, and there is no check box to change the System attribute. You click to clear or click to select the Read-only check box on the General tab of a folder's Properties dialog box. When you click OK or Apply, you receive the following message:
- Confirm Attribute Changes
- You have chosen to make the following attribute changes:
- unset read-only
- Do you want to apply this change to this folder only, or do you want to apply it to all subfolders and files as well?
If you click Apply changes to this folder only, the Read-only attribute is changed for all the files in the folder. However, the Read-only attribute is not changed for the folder, its subfolders, or any files in its subfolders. If you click Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files, the Read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder and all files in the subfolders. However, the Read-only attribute is not changed for the folder or its subfolders.
Some programs may display error messages when you try to save files to a folder that uses the Read-only or System attribute. As a result, these programs may not be able to save files to the folder.
If you really want to change these attributes, you can do with the Command Prompt, but at your own risk. In fact, if you remove the Read Only attribute or a file system, it may appear as a regular folder some customizations (specific display settings ...) may be lost. You also may lose the folder icon. However, such a change will be essential if a program cannot save files in a folder with the Read Only attribute, such as My Documents. In this case, at the command prompt, use the Attrib command to change the 'Read-only attribute in the system by typing: "attrib -r C:\"
Change the attributes using the contextual menu
On each file or folder, right click, select "Properties" and check or uncheck the boxes of attributes. However, this does not allow access to the attribute "S" (or even see) and we must use the "Command Prompt" above to handle this attribute on all files or the Recovery Console seen below (limited to files only).
