    What's the problem with clearing the Read Only attribute on the files?
    Just right-click and choose Properties. If you want to clear the
    attribute on numerous files at one time install an applet called
    PropertiesPlus (do a Google search or go to www.pcworld.com).

  3. Or just select multiple files and then change the attribute.

    But, I also must ask why a file that is created in SW and saved directly on
    the USB key then is read-only. I wouldn't think this could happen because
    then SW couldn't save over it as you worked on it. If that's not what's
    happening, please let us know.
