RE: [amibroker] OT: Win XP - Read Only files

["J. Biran" <jbiran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

p.s.
 
when you reinstall XP make sure you reformat the partition you are
going to use to reinstall XP!
(part of the options during the install process), make sure you now
WHICH partition it is
otherwise you may end up with no data disk!!
 
after 2 years of (continuous) use you need to start worrying about the
integrity of your disk drive!
(you may need to back that up somewhere else).
 
also, some applications overwrite data during install, so you may want
to backup their data to a
separate folder (i.e. drive:\backup\program files\application
name\...)

Thanks Joseph ... looks like I have to re-install XP
 
I have my apps and data on different drives from system, so am safe
for loss of data.
 
Do you know if there is a way to automatically register all
applications so I won't have to re-install those also?
 
Thanks
 
Ara

try running CMD.exe from your root folder then :

ATTRIB -R [drive:] /S /D
 
If this does not fix it you have a bigger problem. Didn't you have
another bizarre behavior just recently?
You may want to consider re-installing Win XP (after backing up
important data). Do not mark any drives
as private! (leave defaults)

I have every file folder and subfolder marked as read only, even
though the files within these folder are normal (not read only).
 
Removing the read only check from folder properties, does nothing.
Next time I look at its properties, it is again marked as read only.
 
This seems to causing problems with making backups. 
 
Any thoughts?
 
Thanks
