How can I delete read only files
You cannot treat a CD as a hard drive. The files are permanently written to
it. If it is a re-recordable disc you can copy the files to your hard drive, delete the ones that you want to remove, erase the disc and re-write it with the new content. There is software around that enables a writeable CD to be used like a 'big floppy', but such software is notoriously unreliable and best avoided. I would also avoid re-writeable discs for important material that you may wish to use again in the future. Ordinary writable CDs (and DVDs) cost only a few cents. There is no real need to use re-writables in place of the more reliable writables other than for testing. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Whitebear wrote: I'm trying to reorganize files I've written to CD.

How can I delete read only files
Thank you, Graham. Like a complete dope I forgot I could simply erase the
entire CD and re-write on it. Oh, well, CD's are cheap. "Graham Mayor" wrote: You cannot treat a CD as a hard drive. The files are permanently written to it.
