Anyone ever have problems with 2.5.0.5 opening non read-only files as read-only? It has been working fine for awhile and now suddenly if I open a text file from my desktop it won't let me modify it. I double checked and it is not read-only, and I can open it in wordpad and modify it without any problems. Any ideas?

just hit F6 (view | readonly)

I was surprised when it happened to me a few times, too.

It seems that Editor² remembers whether it was editing or just viewing a file last time out. So when invoked from click (or d-click) on file it will open in same state as before.

& nikos just pointed out that F6 will toggle between read & edit

That was odd, first off it was doing it to any file I opened from any location, so I downloaded editor2 unicode version and opened a text file in that and it was editable. I downloaded editor2 regular again and extracted it over the old one and opened the file and it was still read-only. I deleted editor2 regular and then tried unicode again and it worked fine, re-extracted editor regular and it's working fine again

The F6 will definitely come in handy, must have missed that when I was looking through the menus.

Thanks.

the unicode and plain versions have different registry keys

my editor2 no see in blue the web links, and no edit the files after they are created only edit the firs time.

the F6 key, it does not work.
the color does not change.

that is any relation with iexplorer?  I unistall it of my system (Win98se)?

I suspect Editor2 uses a number of IE dll's etc to keep itself "light".  So when you uninstall IE, you may lose some Editor2 functionality.
Also some features of xplorer2 will be lost. See FAQ#A2  

Personally, I have kept IE installed; but I do not use it most of the time.
