Hello!
I just installed Xampp in Vista and noticed that I can't edit files directly in htdocs/myfolder because Windows says "This is a read-only document".
I have tried attrib -r -a "C:\Program files\xampp" /s /d -but it says denied for htdocs and licenses -folders.
I have also try to disable "Read only" from folder properties, but after I click OK and go back to properties, read only it's enabled again.

What should I do?

This is what I use;
xampp-win32-1.7.0-installer
Windows Vista 32bit

You have disabled UAC and you are logged in as an administrator but still can't edit files, correct?

Also being a Super Administrator might help:

What is UAC ?
Yes I logged as admin in Windows.

User Account Control

To disable UAC go to
Start>Control Panel>User Accounts
there you will find an option
Turn User Account Control on or off
just click on it and uncheck
User Account Control to help protect your computer
click OK.

ah! I was just going to do it. I need to reboot, lets see does it works...

Thanks Izzy, it worked!
