write protection

[Stovio]

Hi,

how do i remove write protection from folders in win xp pro? I have a database to wich i connect from my web page but lately i haven't been able to manipulate the database and i think it's because of the write protection on the folder containing the db. I have right-clicked the folder, chosen settings (or preferences, im translating from swedish) and unclicked the write protection check box. The change seems do be made when i press ok but when repeating the procedure the write protection check box is still checked and the web page can still not manipulate the db.

What to do?

When you right-click on the folder do you have a Security Tab? If not uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing" in Folder Options/ View. If you don't have that option, are you using Home ( Home's Security Tab is accessed via Safe Mode only)?

When you locate the Security Tab you can then check what access permissions you have to the folder.

No, i am using pro but your tips still did the trick. Thanks. Couldn't figure out how to change the permission settings before. thanks!

In that case this might be worth looking at.
