folder is read-only

Error Messages > folder is read-only

For some purposes, WordSmith needs to save files e.g. lists of results you have made so that you can get at recent files again. To do this it needs a place where your network or operating system lets you save. Usually c:\wsmith4 is fine, but in some institutional settings drive c: may be "read-only". If you see this message, choose Adjust Settings | Folders | Settings and select there a folder where you can write as well as read.
