I'e just noticed a very annoying feature with Windows Write.  When you specify
a file for it to edit, it *totally* disregards any file attributes - i.e. read
only' and does the edit anyway. When you save the file it becomes normal.

I really don't want this to happen - what can I do??

How about restricting it to only .wri files?
