    3. I am changing computers and I copied my PAF to disk. Everything worked except it made it a read only file. How can I convert it back to a write file???

    3. Right click on the PAF file, choose Properties, and then uncheck the Read-only box Aloha, John On Jan 4, 2011, at 5:20 PM, Bruce Bennett wrote: > > I am changing computers and I copied my PAF to disk.

    2. You have to select the properties on the file (right click) and uncheck read-only. On the CD there is nothing that can be done since they are read only, but once copied you can fix it. It is better to use a memory stick or actually to backup and move the ZIP file. You could then open the zip file with the restore in PAF to create the PAF file. The pictures you might use have to be copied separately. Bill > > I am changing computers and I copied my PAF to disk. Everything > worked except it made it a read only file.
