make a group of doc files readonly

[zamani_2012]

Hi.


I have several doc files in a folder. I want to make all of them protected as readonly not one by one.
Thank you.

You could simply navigate to the folder using Windows Explorer, select all the files, right-click, choose Properties > read-only.

Note that this sets the Windows read-only attribute, which actually prevents the files being overwritten, rather than Word's read-only recommended setting.
