hi,

i've put some files into a read-only folder, and now i cant move them back.

it says; 'an error occured applying attributes to the file:

.....

access is denied.

then i get the options ignore, ignoreall, retry and cancel. the files are
hidden, and i can change that either.

how do i get round this.

thanx

dev

Did you just try moving them, or did you try to copy them?
You can usually copy any file whether it is read only or not.
