Read Only Documents

[Lynn]

When I try to alter any documents I have copied on to a RW CD, I'm being told I cannot save ***** document
as the file exists and is marked read-only. Save the file with another file name or to another location.

I can't understand why they're showing as read-only as they don't show that on my desk top. I don't want to change names or location of documents - just to save the changes I have made.

Thanks.

Lynn you might find the information at Alex Nichol's site helpful in
understanding CD Burning http://www.aumha.org/a/xpcd.htm I have additional
links and information here http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/cdr_info.htm

If you want a CD-R/W to behave more like a giant floppy or a small hard
drive, where you can easily save, modify or delete files directly to/from
the CD you should purchase a third party app like InCD from www.nero.com or
DLA from http://www.sonic.com/products/dla/default.asp Both of these are
stand a lone products. --
