In its properties if you don’t see or can’t change HomeUser on that folder, what you can do is add your own account to the Security “Group or user names” Edit under Add. Give yourself Modify at least or even Full control as you prefer. When you apply that change, it should ripple through all of the subordinate folders. Let me know if that does the job for your account, at least. If it doesn’t work, give more details about a single document where this doesn’t work properly, along with how making the change was unsuccessful. - Dennis From: ap...@telus.net <mailto:ap...@telus.net> [mailto:ap...@telus.net] Sent: Monday, August 17, 2015 15:02 To: dennis.hamil...@acm.org <mailto:dennis.hamil...@acm.org> Subject: Re: WINDOWS 10 HOME USERS: Possible Read-Only Solution
Your right BUT it doesn't work for ONEDRIVE (cloud account) by DEFAULT; other spreadsheets behaved once I performed as you suggest. Trying to get a hold of Microsoft see if can rid of this program or in the least how to deal with my problem. Let you know. Thnxs. -------Original Message------- From: Dennis E.

I recommend trying this at the *folder* level. With luck, it will apply to the entire Document, OneDrive, and other folders containing user data that is now found to be set to Read Only. On the troublesome folder (or individual file), find it in the Windows File Explorer. Then right click on the folder or file name, and select Properties on the list that pops out. On the Properties display, click “Security” Then select HomeUsers and click the Edit button. Add Modify control and Write to the permissions. (Or just take All or Full control, depending on what the options are in your configuration.) For other cases of suspected Windows 10 Upgrade issues, please continue to report here. And thank you Andrew for enduring the detailed check list and iterative solution seeking. - Dennis From: ap...@telus.net <mailto:ap...@telus.net> [mailto:ap...@telus.net] Sent: Monday, August 17, 2015 12:15 To: dennis.hamil...@acm.org <mailto:dennis.hamil...@acm.org> Subject: RE: READ ONLY (PS) I may have solved the problem. Once I got into PROPERTIS there are these under GROUP OR USER NAMES: SYSTEM HomeUsers (computorroom\HomeUsers) Administrator (computorroom\Administrator) SECURITY TAB UNDER PERMISSIONS: All parts were allowed for SYSTEM AND ADMINISTRATOR but for HOMEUSERS only READ & EXECUTE AND READ WERE ticked. I changed the PERMISSIONS to allow ALL for HOMEUSERS. I tested on BNS TRACKING and the read only in the title of the same spreadsheet of OPENOFFICE disappeared. I did a test line on the spreadsheet and used SAVE AS and got an updated correct spreadsheet. I will review other spreadsheets that I have and make according changes. Unless you may wish to add other comments/suggestions, I gratefully thank you for complete help. By the way, should any other or further complications occur may I call on you?

It appears that the read-only settings apply to documents in the \DOCUMENTS\ and \ONEDRIVE\ folders in your OpenOffice History. The next test is to find out exactly where those folders are on your Windows 10 PC. Let's concentrate on the "\DOCUMENTS" folder. Find where \DOCUMENTS\STOCK SHARES.ods is on your computer, using Windows 10 File Explorer. You may have to open it on OpenOffice and Click File Save As ... to see what folder OpenOffice shows as the already-known location. Cancel any Save As ... . Then go find that folder using the Windows 10 File Explorer. When you have found it in File Explorere, right click on the file name in the File Explorer window and click Properties on the pop-down window. In the Properties window on the General tab, is the the Attribute: Read-only box checked on the bottom row of the tab information? If so, see if you can remove the Read-only check in that box. If the check is shown in a grayed box, this will probably fail. If there is a warning message, what is it? If clearing the check box works, you can just do this for other files. Otherwise let us know what you find with that one. - Dennis -----Original Message [abridged] ----- From: ap...@telus.net <mailto:ap...@telus.net> [mailto:ap...@telus.net] Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2015 14:22 To: users@openoffice.apache.org <mailto:users@openoffice.apache.org> Subject: READ ONLY (PS) LIST OF FILENAMES 3.. \DOCUMENTS\BNS STRACKING 4 14 ods 4. \DOCUMENTS\STOCK SHARES.ods 9. \ONEDRIVE\DOCUMENTS\GOLD SILVER TRACKING.ods ----- No virus found in this message.
