However, the Read-only attribute is not changed for the folder, its subfolders, or any files in its subfolders. If you click Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files , the Read-only attribute is changed for all files in the folder and all files in the subfolders. However, the Read-only attribute is not changed for the folder or its subfolders. Some programs may display error messages when you try to save files to a folder that uses the Read-only or System attribute.
As a result, these programs may not be able to save files to the folder. Note Unlike the Read-only attribute for a file, the Read-only attribute for a folder is typically ignored by Windows, Windows components and accessories, and other programs. For example, you can delete, rename, and change a folder with the Read-only attribute by using Windows Explorer.
The Read-only and System attributes is only used by Windows Explorer to determine whether the folder is a special folder, such as a system folder that has its view customized by Windows for example, My Documents, Favorites, Fonts, Downloaded Program Files , or a folder that you customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties dialog box. As a result, Windows Explorer does not allow you to view or change the Read-only or System attributes of folders.
When a folder has the Read-Only attribute set it causes Explorer to request the Desktop. It has been seen where if a network share that has a large amount of folders set to Read-only, it can cause Explorer to take longer then what is expected to render the contents of that share while it waits on the retrieval of the Desktop. The slower the network connectivity to the share the longer this process can take to the point where Explorer may timeout waiting for the data and render nothing or appear to hang.
Note In some previous versions of Windows, you can change the Read-only attribute for folders by using the Properties dialog box for the folder, but no versions of Windows permit you to change the System attribute by using Windows Explorer. To work around this problem, use the Attrib command at a command prompt Cmd. Warning If you remove the Read-only or System attribute from a folder, it may appear as a ordinary folder and some customizations may be lost.
For example, Windows customizes the Fonts folder and provides a special folder view that permits you to hide variations, such as bold and italic.
It also permits you to change the folder's view settings in ways that are specific to fonts. If you remove the Read-only and System attributes of the Fonts folder, these customized view settings are not available.
For folders that you have customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties dialog box, the folder icon and other other customizations may be lost when you remove the Read-only attribute. Also, check the box next to 'Also Apply this template this template to all subfolders. To avoid that, you can display the extension next to the file name along with titles and tags.
For that, open any folder and click on the View tab at the top. Then check the box next to File name extensions. If the File name extensions item is missing from the toolbar, click on Options present under the View tab.
You will be taken to Folder Options. Go to the View tab. Then scroll down under Advanced settings and uncheck Hide extensions for known file types. An interesting way to show data is to group it. For instance, if you group by size, then all the files having similar size will be present in one group.
Windows creates the groups according to the available information. To enable this feature, go to the View option present in the toolbar. Then click on Group by and select your preference. I hope you were able to add new columns to all the folders using the methods mentioned above. Adding new columns helps in identifying the information just from a glance. You don't have to open the file and view its properties, thus saving our time.
