Title: How to unprotect files under WB 3.1
Post by: XDelusion on May 27, 2012, 04:26:01 AM

I've been told before, but I forget how.

Wish I could just right click and tell it to unprotect. :)

I cant recall off the top of my head, but doesnt WB3.1 have protection bits accessible via tools types/protection ?
Failing that you can use "Protect RWED" from shell

You cant change protection bits from Workbench. Instead, start a shell and type 'protect +rwed'.

Left-click the icon and select icon -> information from the menu.

Haven't used Workbench since what... 1995? :hammer:
