I have been taking my digital camera to a photo shop where they will download the pics onto a CD. Trouble is, they set their computer to write-protect each of the files. Since I usually have hundreds of shots before I get this done, I hafta write-unprotect each file one-by-one. So, two questions:
1- How do I say "write-protect" in Korean
2- Is there a way to bulk-unprotect files?

1) Files written to a CD are automatically write-protected and there is no way to make them otherwise. Copying files from a CD copies the file attributes, so they will always be write-protected when you copy them to the hard drive.

2) To remove write protection from a bunch of files, copy them to your hard drive first. Let's say for example, the directory c:\temp\. Open a command prompt window by pressing the windows key and the r key together and type "cmd" in the little text box. In the command prompt window, change to the c:\temp\ directory. In that directory, type the following command: "attrib -r *.*" Et voila.

Here are the commands again:

win + r
cmd
cd\temp
attrib -r *.*

Thanks for the information. My ancient laptop doesn't have a windows button however-is there a way around this?
