Read only (folder)



Hello,
I am trying to run a code which has an access to some folder that
contains files and folders,the strange thing is that this folder becomes
read only ,I change it before running the debugging to no read only (it
and all the things it contains) but it comes to be read only again
before i manipulate this folder. How comes?
Thanks

I have the same problem, kinda, and not from programming. I believe
it has to do with the 'permissions' set in Windows XP at the
"administra tor" level. I code from PowerUser level, but if I code
from Administrator level all files become Read Only. So perhaps check
the permissions at the admin level.

Folders, by default, or NEITHER read-only nor writable. If you look
closely, that is not a two state check box - it is a three state box. Clear
is writable, checked is read-only, and gray (which is what you will see) is
neither. The option is only there so you can, using explorer, set the
read-only check box, and then select apply to all contents, and change all
the files in the folder to read-only. Next time you look at the folder, that
check box will be gray.
In short, the setting of the folder has no impact on your ability to
write files into that folder.

I have tried renaming the folder and putting it back into the program and it still won't work. All files in the folder are...

Hi, I need to write some code to test whether a folder has read/write permission. The idea is to try to read sub-directories in this folder, if succeed, then test whether it's read-only.

Is there a way, given the full path of a folder on a network, that one can programatically tell if you have Read access to that folder? I have an application where the user is able to select a number of search folders using the standard dialog control.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
