What kind of file? Where is it located? Right-click on the name in Windows File Explorer and look at its properties - what are the attributes? |

Right-click on the name in Windows File Explorer and look at its properties - what are the attributes? To change permissions Open the Properties for the file In security You first have to take control of the file. In the the Advance window change the owner to yourself. Then in the same window you will have to change who is allowed to use the file. This will be a little different for Windows 10 but not much. On my windows 10 computers about 50 files in two folders became disowned. I had to go through each file as stated above and take control before I could delete, or do anything with the file. |

The only reference I can find is the letter A. I was attempting to delete it as part of a program that deletes it and recreates it. I also cannot open it with any file viewer program (e.g. FileViewer. I removed the A attribuyte but this didn't help. |

These are Fopen options, rather than permissions as such. The file system may or may not have permissions, and FAT32 doesn't have permissions, while NTFS can be owned by someone. These are "modes". http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/fopen/ r = read w = write a = append rb = read binary wb ab rb+ = read binary update wb+ ab+ Paul |
