When I burned documents to a CD, they came out as "read
only" files. Can I change that so I can manipulate these
files. I went to properties and unchecked the box for
read only but that didn't work.
 
Hi Helen,

You will have to copy the file onto the hard disk to change the Read only
attribute.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps

Files on a CD are always read-only, because they are, literally, burnt onto
the CD. Copy them back to your hard disk, then go to properties and uncheck
the readonly box.
