I was developing this application in VC6, and yesterday I got VC8.
Everytime I open that workspace I get told that I need to convert all
the projects to the newer format. So I say "Yes to All", and each time
I close the workspace and open it again, I get the same message. I've
also tried changing the project properties (like the warning level, or
the output file) and they also reset to the original.
I've checked the *.dsp *.dsw and *.vcproj and none of them are
read-only. What can I do?

What about the .sln? The .dsp and .dsw are the old VC6 extensions, shouldn't
matter if those are read-only. The conversion process should produce a
.vcproj and .sln which are the new VS7+ extensions. If you're continuing to
re-open the .dsw you'll obviously get the conversion wizard again.
