XEmacs 21.4.19: Problem with customized folders on Windows XP
Antonio Freixas writes:
On Windows XP, if you choose to customize a folder (say, by setting
a
special icon for it), the folder becomes read-only. Except it's not,
really. I can still create, delete and edit files in the folder.
IIRC this is due to a difference in the Unix and Windows models of
access control. The readonly property of a folder means something
different in Windows. I'll try to get the archives restored (but it
will probably have to wait 'til next week) so you can search for the
old traffic (IIRC it first came up with Windows 2000!)
Does anyone know of any work-around?
With Win2k IIRC you could change the permissions on the folder to
something that XEmacs could deal with.
