Question

How do I stop "read only" from reverting back to "read only?"

Isaac Ayres 1

I recently bought a video game named "Terraria" and whenever I try to make a save it crashes and comes up with an error screen. After trying a suggestion I found out that the folder was on "read only." I looked up how to turn it off and every time I try to, it reverts back. I've tried reinstalling the game, using Command Prompt, and other painful steps for a "slow" person as myself. Luckily my friend sent me a post on reddit of someone with the same problem. It turns out, the way they fixed it was by creating a new Documents folder through Registry Editor. They got the information on how to do it on this forum and since I have nothing better to try, I am going to try the same thing.

You people are insufferable. He wasn't asking a question about a game; he was asking how to remove the "read only" status of a folder. I too am having a similar issue. How about an actual clue, and not a redirect to an irrelevant forum?
