Hello There are 2 things what have influence: 1. remember file state option in the program settings / Files
This option remembers different states like code page, cursor position + R/O state. Cause you can lock file without changing attribute to prevent accidental override. Initial of this state is R/O attribute. 2. you can change option in program settings / Program 2 - R/O mode changes file attribute. In this case Lock button will change file attribute. Anyway, you can edit file with R/O attribute if you have rights to write into folder anytime - simple press Lock toolbar button (or menu File / Read only). PSpad will allow you edit file, when you will save it, PSPad wil lremove R/O attribute, save file and set it back. If option in point 2 is active, PSpad will change attribute according to LOCK file state. -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,71917,71918> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
