A couple weeks ago, I turned my computer on one day to find that all the
files in the hard drive were read-only. I would right-click on a file, go
into properties, and uncheck the read-only box, but it would instantly turn
back on again after I closed the properties window. I can save files
fine--the problem is when sorting photos in Adobe Bridge--it can't write to
the files' metadata. Every file on my hard drive seems to be stuck in
read-only. Does anyone know anything about this?
