if so, this can't be "locked". And would also be pointless. Those properties must be able to be changed, otherwise you will loose some functionality later on...

if so, this is totally pointless as you can change the file "properties" with any program which is designed to do so (or even by messing up the file with any type of editor for that matter)...

--------------------

Anything from a file can always be changed; this is simply how computers work. There is no such thing as write-protecting anything. (though there are methods, but they are either hardware-solutions, are mostly for all files, not for individual files and/or are always reversable)

--------------------

Before speculating further (and making further useless posts) lets wait until Vazza clearly states in detail what she wants and includes some examples... :)
