    Hi, Does anyone know how to open files as read-only in VS2008 like you used to be able to do in VC++6.0? The number of times I have edited the wrong file, saved it and screwed up a totally different project :mad: There is a drop-arrow on the Open button but it doesnt do anything. Ta :thumbsup:

      Apply 'Read Only' property to all the files/folder you don't wanna to change.
