How can I remove the ReadOnly attribute on a file, using a PowerShell (version 1.0) script?
Powershell Solutions
Solution 1 - Powershell
You can use Set-ItemProperty:
Set-ItemProperty file.txt -name IsReadOnly -value $false
or shorter:
sp file.txt IsReadOnly $false
Solution 2 - Powershell
$file = Get-Item "C:\Temp\Test.txt"
if ($file.attributes -band [system.IO.FileAttributes]::ReadOnly)
{
$file.attributes = $file.attributes -bxor [system.IO.FileAttributes]::ReadOnly
}
The above code snippet is taken from this article
UPDATE Using Keith Hill's implementation from the comments (I have tested this, and it does work), this becomes:
$file = Get-Item "C:\Temp\Test.txt"
if ($file.IsReadOnly -eq $true)
{
$file.IsReadOnly = $false
}
Solution 3 - Powershell
Even though it's not Native PowerShell, one can still use the simple Attrib command for this:
attrib -R file.txt
Solution 4 - Powershell
or you can simply use:
get-childitem *.cs -Recurse -File | % { $_.IsReadOnly=$false }
Above will work for all .cs files in sub-tree of current folder. If you need other types included then simply adjust "*.cs" to your needs.
Solution 5 - Powershell
If you happen to be using the PowerShell Community Extensions:
PS> Set-Writable test.txt
PS> dir . -r *.cs | Set-Writable
# Using alias swr
PS> dir . -r *.cs | swr
You can do the opposite like so:
PS> dir . -r *.cs | Set-ReadOnly
# Using alias sro
PS> dir . -r *.cs | sro
Solution 6 - Powershell
Shell("net share sharefolder=c:\sharefolder/GRANT:Everyone,FULL")
Shell("net share sharefolder= c:\sharefolder/G:Everyone:F /SPEC B")
Shell("Icacls C:\sharefolder/grant Everyone:F /inheritance:e /T")
Shell("attrib -r +s C:\\sharefolder\*.* /s /d", AppWinStyle.Hide)
