When I copy a folder of files (say mp3) from one drive (cto another (external HD) the destination files become "read only".
Is there a way to copy files using Windows Explorer so that the destination files are not "read only" ?
Kind regards

How do you do the copying?Regards
John

2011-09-28 00:40Sorry for asking the obvious but are these files "read only" to start with?
