Windows 10: Turn off write protection and make it stick.

I have a file which needs to be written to every time I make a change in the main program Rainlender2. Whenever I try to add something to the Rainlender calendar I get an error message that says it can't write to a particular file. I found that the file is write-protected so I turned off write protection on that file but it still can't be written to. It seems that after turning off write protection, removing focus from the file and then looking at it again, it's once again write-protected. Is there a way to turn off write protection and have it stay off?


This happened because I moved all of Rainlender's files from my old computer to my new one, even re-installing the program from a fresh download. All the other associated files were copied from the old machine and pasted into the new one. I needed to retain years of birthdays and anniversaries which is why I did it that way. I couldn't find any route to tech support on the Rainlender website.


TIA

¿You already tried this one?...

Run CMD


1. diskpart
2. list disk

Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

2. select disk #
3. clean
4. create partition primary
5. select partition 1
6. active
7. format fs=fat32
8. assign
9. exit

with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

good luck!
