Files *on the CD* are always read-only. You can copy the file from the CD to
the hard disk and make the file *on the hard disk* read-write. Then edit the
file *on the hard disk*. You can (of course) write that file to the CD -- if
there is room -- but you'll need to give it a new name. You can't overwrite
the original file on the CD.

I tried what you told me to do and it still becomes read only. I need this
cd for work on monday! I checked the properties before i copied and they
are
not read only, the are checked as archives. Am i screwed for monday?

If i do that, can i then re copy them to a cd? Or will it always be read
only?

why do my files become read only when i copy from a disc to a cd?
How do
i
remove this? I've tried going into properties and deselect the read
only
option then it tells me i don't have access. These have always been
my
own
personal files.
