Read-only is a file attribute, or a characteristic that the operating system assigns to a file. In this case, read-only means that the file can be only opened or read; you cannot delete, change, or rename any file that’s been flagged read-only.
To change the read-only attribute, follow these steps:
Right-click the file or folder icon.
Remove the check mark by the Read Only item in the file’s Properties dialog box.
The attributes are found at the bottom of the General tab.
Click OK.
Likewise, you can set the read-only attribute by placing a check mark in the box. This ensures that the file cannot be changed or deleted. Well, it can’t be changed or deleted until someone removes the read-only attribute again.
