Windows folder has readonly attribute that cannot be removed
- by drasto
I have a zip file containing Eclipse workspace. When I unzip it all the extracted folders have read only attribute set to true. When I uncheck "read only" in properties dialog and click apply the attribute seems to be removed. But when I reopen properties dialog it is there again.
Eclipse will not accept folder that is read only as a workspace. I need it to be removed.
Some points I'd like to make:
Only folders have read only attribute, files don't.
I use Windows 7, for unzipping I have used 7zip.
I have tryied to remove the attribute from command line like this: attrib -r -s c:\pathToFolder. It did not work.
