Unable to uncheck read-only in properties

[Xannidel]

Hello all!

So I have tried to uncheck the 'read-only' in the properties section of the main folder and I accept the change and it pretends to go through all the folders and what not but when I re-check the properties, the 'read-only' option has been checked in again.

I have copied and pasted the entire folder and re-made it in hopes that any programs the torrent might have had would go away but now I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

As I mentioned before I did use a torrent and I changed where the folder went (from downloads to my desktop for easier access to the folder but I am at a loss as to why this keeps happening.

Any tips/advice is welcomed!

*edit*
I have removed both folders and the torrent and re-torrenting and putting THAT folder into the downloads (I do not think this was an issue but I might as well try everything just in case) and if I need to I can copy that folder to my desktop.

You need to rebuild performance counters. How to manually rebuild performance counters:
1- Go to start, and type in the search box "cmd". Right click cmd, and run as administrator.
2- Type in the command console, "cd c:\windows\system32", and hit enter.
3- Then type "lodctr /r", and hit enter.

This is what I get when I type all that in:
'Error: Unable to reubild performance counter setting from system backup store, error code is 5'

Are you actually getting an error message about unathorised access to the war.exe file?


To perform the rebuild you need to run command prompt as administrator. Right click it and run as administrator, then type that. This only rebuilds your performance counters, so unless that is your actual problem you probably won't see a difference.

Error 5 means permission denied when trying to rebuild performance counters. Re-run command prompt as administrator, then type lodctr /r and it should perform the command.

You will prompted with a message in cmd that the rebuild was completed. Try logging in again afterwards.
