Normally, when you copy files and folders from a CD or DVD to your hard disk, these items will have a read-only bit set, which doesn't allow you to modify them. Modern versions of Windows, like Vista or 7, has a built-in feature which automatically removes the read-only bit from copied files and folders. Still, older versions of Windows don't have this feature, so, in this situation, the user will need to run a separate application for removing the read-only attribute.

A program which can help in this situation is CROA. This Windows program can automatically remove the read-only bit of any file or folder. After the program has been installed, the user first needs to select the location where CROA should scan for read-only files. After doing so, the application will soon start scanning and in the shortest time possible, will remove the read-only bit from all found files and folders.

At the end of the process, a report window will be displayed, showing the number of files and folders for which the read-only bit is removed.

Pros

It can automatically remove the read-only bit from files and folders. Besides that, it's very simple to use. Furthermore, it displays statistics at the end of the process.

Cons

The program is useless in newer versions of Windows. Using CROA, you will be able to quickly and easily remove the read-only bit from files and folders.
