I get lots of attached word docs, and xls sheets emailed to me daily. I save them to my desktop to view and edit. All these saved files have a "Lock icon" and therefore can't be shared with others on the network.
This is only a problem on my Dell Inspririon 3847 Core I5 3360 running win 7 Home Premimum. (the pre-installed OS on the system when it was purchased)
All other computers on the network do not have this problem--with all of them running WIN 7 Home or Professional.
Is this a Windows issue or the Dell being "pre-set" at the factory to "lock" all files not created on this specific machine.
Any help or solution much appreciate!
PS Yes I've tried to right click and change file properties to ALL, ADMIN and Everyone and the lock still will not go away.
