Posted February 12, 201410 yr Hi, I am trying to fathom out what is occuring with my pc, I have a picture file which I am trying to place onto a USB stick but I only wish this to be read only when placed on there so that none of the file details can be changed ie author copyright information changed etc. I have tried setting this to read only this works however when I then copy this onto the USB stick Now the properties are not editable However if i now move / copy the file to a USB drive .. it has the same priviliges ie all the person has to do is click the read only check box to turn this off and then they can edit the properties. I have tried the change permission and special permissions for the user everyone to only read only but as soon as it is copied / moved to usb it defaults back to everyone with full control... I even tried changing the file attributes trhough the command prompt with attrib +r etc but this did nothing. How can I have this so that I can have it default to Greyed out read only box so that can read the file / delete / move etc but not change any of the properties of the file... Thanks in advance Richard Continue reading...
