Make Shared Executables Read-Only
Executable files that will be run by more than one user at a time need to be marked as read-only. If they are not, then you may notice at times that you are temporarily denied access to a file you wish to run. For example, you may get a message that access was denied or that the EXE file could not be run. If this happens, mark the executable files read-only using the DOS ATTRIB command. Type ATTRIB +R *.EXE in the directory where the executable files reside. This example marks the *.EXE files read-only. All shared .COMs, .BATs, and .OVLs should be marked as well. The read-only attribute can be cleared using the same command replacing the +R with -R. (See DOS documentation for information on the ATTRIB command).
