| Apollo:
OK so I'm using WinXP and I need to change the default file status from read only. I know I can do it using DOS and typing in attrib -r "file path" but what do a type exactly after I've opened the DOS prompt window? Can someone explain it like you are talking to a 5 year old step by step. I don't know anything about DOS really except how to open the DOS prompt. Thankyou. |

Are you trying to change the read-only attribute on just one file? |
| Apollo:
Yes, I want to change the attributes of the MAME file i.e. C:\MAME it contains all my MAME32 files. The reason is that every time I open Mame32 to play a game I have to respecify the directories. |

I'm assuming that you mean that you want everything that in and that's underneath C:\MAME changed. If so, go to the command prompt in Windows XP and type in attrib -r c:\mame\*.* /s /d |

why not just right click on the folder and select properties and de-select RO ? |
