Hi everyone,

How do I remove read only attribute in Vista and make my drive and folders to write? Is it possible to do it? How can it be done? Thank you everyone.

You can click right while mouse over a file and choose properties and see the read only check box.

I recommend you only do it to personal files and not system files.

here is some info on problems with read only files:
