Yeah, if the file is actively being used, by a program or
Windows, you can't change the attribute. In DOS, the command
to change it is the "attrib" command (attrib -r [filename]), but it
will have to be "real DOS"---not a DOS window while running
Windows. You seem to know that. Good luck getting into
DOS with ME. If you know what program is using that file,
you can shut it down, then change the attribute with the
Windows method, but if Windows, itself is using it, that
won't work. Gary
