How to uncheck read only in Global Layer Folder in ETO. Had it working before I screwed up and reinstalling ETO. I got all the editing right in Global Layer and Master Startup. Every time I uncheck read only in Global Layer folder it auto checks itself to read only . Help needed . Thanks

Google is your friend

In Win 11 to fix read-only folders reverting to read-only, first disable Controlled folder access in Windows Security. If the issue persists, you may need to use PowerShell to remove the attribute recursively or take ownership of the folder in the Security tab of its properties.


1. Disable Controlled folder access
  • Open Windows Security by searching for it in the taskbar.
  • Go to Virus & threat protection.
  • Click Manage ransomware protection.
  • Toggle the switch for Controlled folder access to Off.
Have I said lately I hate win 11.

Allow me to say that this is a very bad idea. Controlled folder access should be on. Disable it for some choice folders, but by and large it should be on.

This is the 21st century, cyber security is of the utmost importance. What you're saying is the same as "strip naked, cover yourself in honey, pet the bear"...

In the old days we could disable user account control without too many risks. Nowadays, stupid shite like that is no longer on. Excuse my French. If a PC is connected to the internet, you do not meddle with security.

Rather than making global changes, I typically just go into the properties of that folder and change the user permissions to include read/write.

On my system this is usually just a problem on the C drive and not any of my secondary drives. That's why installs like ETO, RS and BoLG that need to swap out files all the time don't end up on my C drive.
 
Tried Controlled folder access off. Didn't work. Read Only stayed on. Went back and turned it back on. Went to Best Buy Geek Squad and they could not get it to stay off??? Anyway, when I go back in the Bat file in note pad it shows the correct setting (x86) in all of them that has to be changed. I beginning to think my problem is the splash screens are not showing in deferent era's. Is this possible ????????
 
My "BAD". Missions are the same in all the era's in game when i select different era's. Going to reinstall it and go from there. Wish me luck..........
 
Hey. First off, I want to thank everyone on there input on my problem with Read Only. I got it working. the problem was (and don't laugh) . But You Can... i i did't install stock CFS3 in Program Files X86. Anyway its working so far. Maybe that was the problem or maybe Not. ??????Thanks Again !!!!
