It’s a familiar problem; you copy your report to a CD-ROM at work but when you take it home and transfer the file to your hard drive you find you cannot edit the file. The problem is that CD-ROM is a read-only medium so Windows flags any files as "Read Only." When you copy any files to your hard drive, the "Read Only" attribute gets copied too. Resetting the file attribute to "Read-Write" is not all that hard from Windows but it’s much easier to use a specialist utility, particularly when a lot of files are involved. Thanks to Robert Conley for letting me know about CROA, a tiny free utility whose name tells it all; Clear Read Only Attributes. It’s easy to use, will clear individual files, folders or whole drives and works at lightning speed. A nice little addition to your toolkit. Freeware, Windows 98 and later, 285KB
