Hi Barb, Make a new folder on your PC to hold the photos. Copy the files from the CD into the new folder. Then in Windows Explorer, right click on the new folder. Select "Properties" (at the bottom of the list) Uncheck the "Read only" box. Click until the box is empty (not checked or shaded). Click on "OK" On the next screen, check the box that says that you want this change to apply to this folder, sub folders, and files. Then click "OK". This should remove the "Read only" attribute from all of the files that are in this folder. Dave Hanna Georgetown, TX [email protected] wrote: > I have 600-800 photos, each a separate file.
