Changing the files from read only

I am currently trying to tweak some of the weapons but I can't change the files read only attributes. I go to their properties and uncheck read only and I apply it and then click ok. I then go right back to their properties and find that the read only box is checked again. Can someone help me remove the files read only attributes.

Thanks for the links Ballard. I have tried what they said to do but I still cannot edit the files. When I open them they are still bold and I can not delete or edit any of their content.

Well that sucks.

You mention the same problem as those people, so not sure what else you should do.
