How to delete file that was auto formated to read only after?
I was writing an article when the computer crashed. Word the saved the file
as read only. I need to continue the article but, I cannot make changes to it, save it or delete it. The ideal would be to delete the file, so that I do not have two files with the same name and save space. |

Does this fix your problem? If not, post back and tell exactly which OS (Operating System) you are using, and the specific error message that you are getting. Lynn Killingbeck |
