How do I change the file "properties" from "Readable" to "Read Writable"? When burning to a disk it says the file is "readable only" and I should change it to "Read Writable". I do now know how to do this. Please help.

Right click on the file, click on properties and click on security tab, then under permissions select read and write by checking in the boxes listed under allow, then click okay.
