change read-only setting of files

[Anonymous]

HI-

I have inadvertently created my drawing as read-only. Is there a way to change this once it has been done?

Close the file in AutoCAD, probably saver to close CAD too, open File Explorer Right Click >  Properties on the file and you should see an Attributes "read only' tick box to untick. 

Might pay to check the same setting on the folder too

Tried but it keeps reverting to read only  any ideas???

Where do you save your files?

I save my files on the hard drive

Where? Your Windows version is telling AutOCAD you do not have access to those folders, so you need to fix that problem first outside of AutoCAD.

AutoCAD/LT will not go around Operating System's lock of your files.
