software

Occasionally, when I open an existing file in Excel, it will be quot;read-onlyquot;.
I have never quot;askedquot; Excel to do this. I looked on the online help about
going into Windows Explorer to remove it. I have never set it up to do this,
it just seems to happen randomly. What am I doing to make this happen?

One place where I've seen that, is when retrieving a file from a CD.
