Windows ME Issue
Posted: Thu Feb 17, 2005 8:56 am
Hello all,
Can anyone throw any light on why Windows ME would suddenly force the c:/windows/temp file to be read only?
I ask because this has caused a programme to stop working because it could not write temp files to the directory.
FYI:
A I tried changing the properties of the folder so 'Read Only' box was unchecked. When the properties box was closed and reopened the 'Read Only' box was reticked.
B Eventually I renamed the c:/windows/temp file to ...temp2 and then created a new folder called .....temp. This solved the problem but I am afraid I have not tackled the cause of the problem and it may reoccur.
If anyone has any clues could you please let me know.
Mike
