Changing Files Back to Read / Write

Many times, copying files from a CD back to the hard drive will set the files in Read Only mode.  This means that the files can be read but not changed or deleted.  Since The Ultimate cannot run without it's data files able to be edited, here is a step by step procedure to change all the files back to Read / Write.

NOTE:  This problem manifests itself in The Ultimate if you enter the Customer Maintenance (or any Maintenance screen) and right away get a message reading "File not found in this directory.  Please restart The Ultimate".

In My Computer, open the proper hard drive and then the ULTIMATE folder.

Click on the Edit menu and then on Select All.

Click the Right mouse button on any file name in the "darkened" area.
Click the Left mouse button on Properties.

Make sure the "Read-only" box is unchecked  If it contains a light or dark check mark, remove it by clicking on the box.
Click Apply to save.

Select "Apply changes to the selected items, subfolders and files".
Click OK two times to exit.

This process marks all the files as Read / Write for use in The Ultimate.
