    Folders stuck on Read Only.


    So I recently downloaded a game to play, and added mods for a better experience. However upon running the game, none of the mods worked. After some digging I found out it's due to the folders constantly reverting back to "read only". I've attempted to follow a couple of guides on how to stop this, but mostly likely I'm doing something wrong, or the guides aren't working for me.I use Windows 10 64 bit. The specific folder I'm trying to fix is saved to my desktop, I'm not sure how I would write the "attrib -r +s" fix into the admin command prompt, but I thought it might help to include where sai

  3. Read only folder

    Hi Jim,

    We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10.

    Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.


    • Do you want to change the permissions to certain program/folder?

    • Have you signed in through Microsoft/Local account?

    A read-only file is protected from accidental deletion and changes to its content.

    Step 1: What is a read-only file or folder?

    A read-only file is protected from accidental deletion and changes to its content. To change a file to read-only, right-click the file, and then click
    Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click the
    General tab, and then select the
    Read-only check box. To make changes to a read-only file, clear the
    Read-only check box, or save the file with a different name.

    Step 2: Prevent changes to a file or folder (read-only)

    Setting your important or personal files to read-only can help protect them from unintentional or unauthorized changes. When a file is set to read-only, it cannot be changed.

    • Right-click the file or folder you want to set to read-only, and then click
      Properties.
    • Click the General tab, select the Read-only check box, and then click
      OK.
    If you need to make changes to the file or folder later, you can turn off the read-only setting by clearing the
    Read-only check box.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with this issue. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.
