Help, all files changed to unshared/write protected

Not open for further replies.
Seems to be running fine and may be a little quicker with internet etc.

Yesterday three files appeared on my desktop, two were called "desktop ini" and the third was "cmd.bat". I believe this may have happened during an update configuration during startup. The desktop ini's have gone now so i guess i'll move cmd.bat to another spot.

I do still have the original problem of not being able to transfer files off the computer or external drive. I was also wondering if my external hard drive might have any bad stuff?

Thanks Kev. H.
 
Try removing the Read Only attribute on one of your files and see if you can transfer it

1. Right click on the file and scroll down to Properties
2. On the General Tab look for Attributes and remove the check mark from READ Only

See if that helped.

Are you able to say get a hold of a new usb thumb drive and transfer files to it, I doubt an infection is preventing the transfer
 
Hi again,

I have tried to reset read only attributes, i press apply and ok, it resets all sub folders and files but when i check again it is still set to read only.

I also tried to transfer a music file to a usb stick and a mp3 player, both files transfered without problems, so it appears to be only the sd cards in my wifes my phones that cant be transfered to although i have put music on both in the past.

The sd cards are both generic 8gb cards, i checked ones shareing tabs and it was unshared, it changed to shared without problem but made no differance.

Thanks for your patience, any further advice would be appreciated
