Thew reason Windows changes the flag when you move a file to a
writable media, is that when you write it to a CD/DVD it becomes readable only.
Once it is put on a media it must change the flag otherwise it would
error out all the time when you try to change or write a file to your CD/DVD
I think the only way to change that is if you used your CD/DVD as a
harddrive and have the programs loaded to do that.

I never said it wouldn't store the attributes. That's exactly what it is
doing. If you zip the file and then burn it to cd, it only locks the zip
file.
Windows xp and vista/7 seem to decide that since you are moving a file to a
cd, it will lock the file from being changed. Tom's problem is even after
moving the files from cd to HD he can't change that back. So you zip the
files you want to move, then burn it to cd, it only locks the zip file.
