menu is write protected after using autodesk remote

I posted this in the AutoCAD 2013/2014 DWG Format discussion as well... i install autodesk remote to try it out from home. when i went to my office to the actual work station i rebooted my machine and now im getting a popup box that says my menu file is write protected. i uninstalled the file, and rebooted my machine and im still getting this warning that my menu is write protected,. no other work station is getting this error, the menu file is a shared file running off a network and no other versions exists on my hard drive. does anyone have a clue how i can fix this?

Did you disconnect at home or leave this app running? Sounds like you did the latter.
Actually turn off the REMOTE app to disconnect and the problem should go away.

This problem does not exist with 3rd party remote access apps: try them out and compare if you think you really need this type of access (or ask your IT for VPN access which requires no additional software).

Find the file at it's source and try to discover why it's locked then: it may be as simple as your AutoCAd session is pointing elsewhere for the CUIx file.

no sir, its not pointing elsewhere. there is only 1 .cuix file. its located on a network. 5 other stations access it as well and they have no issues with it. when those work stations are shut down and mine being the only one accessing it, i still get a write protected warning when my work station is turned on, being the first one to access that file, i still get a write protection warning.

Is the CUIx being loaded as or under the Enterprise?  I've had non-Remote conditions where AutoCAD tries to update the CUIx file, but can't since the Enterprise "tree" is read-only by design if not in fact.  I haven't been able to track down exactly *what* is trying to be changed - it could be as simple as an icon update.
