Hello, thank you for your help. I have a PC, and a NAS. The NAS has a file, when I try to use that file in a program, it says "The media is write protected." I am an admin Win user, and when right click > properties > security, it says I have write permission. When I copy file from NAS to PC local disk, it still says "The media is write protected."


Right click > Properties > uncheck read-only > Ok = "The media is write protected."

Is this to a SD card or usb stick and does it have a physical write blocking switch?

Is it only a specific program that produces the write protect message or are you able to open it in another program?
