.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / IDE / March 2006Visual Studio 2003, Edit Read-Only file dialog box.
Up until two days ago, whenever I tried to edit a read-only file a dialog box would pop up and warn me. The dialog would allow me to overwrite or edit read only or just cancel my attempt. The dialog also had an option to disable the dialog box from ever showing up again. I happened to click that and now I don't get the dialoag box. But now I want it back. The current behavior I have is that when I try to edit a read-only file, VS just "quietly" fails. The cursor may move to the beginning of the line, but no editing is possible. My other option is to go to Tools | Options | Documents | Allow editing of read-only files, warn when attempt to save. Under this option I can start editing a file, but get warned when I try to save. Neither of these options is satisfactory to me. I'd like to get the old dialog box to pop up again and warn me that I'm editing a read-only file and then let me decide what to do. I'm using VS .NET 2003. I'm hoping someone knows what registry setting I need to change to get this back. I don't see an option to restore default settings (except for Window Layout which doesn't apply to this problem) Thanks, Michael Hi Michael, Based on my understanding, you disable the "Save of Read-Only File" dialog several days before. But now, you want to call it back. Please let me know if I have misunderstood anything. However we haven't experienced such a problem, there is no such disabling option in my VS2005 IDE "Save of Read-Only File" dialog. So I am unable to perform tests on my side. I suggest maybe you can do some tests on your side. Running the VS2003 IDE with a different user account, you will have the default "Save of Read-Only File" dialog. Using the Sysinternals' RegMon to monitor your registry action when perform the test of disabling the "Save of Read-Only File" dialog and then closing the IDE. The Sysinternals' RegMon could be downloaded in the following URL: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html Thanks for your understanding!

I deleted the whole DontShowDialogAgain folder. This didn't fix it. So I looked a little closer and saw that the UncontrolledInMemoryEditDialogSupressed key was set to 1. I changed this back to 0 and now my IDE is back to "normal". Thanks, Michael >So I looked a little closer and saw that the >UncontrolledInMemoryEditDialogSupressed >key was set to 1.
