Were they backed up by copying to CD-ROM, and restored by copying them
back?  I've seen some Windows systems that mark everything copied off
of a CD-ROM as "read only".  Use "attrib" to find out of the files have
the "R" attribute.  If so, you can remove it with:

    x:               (Use the proper drive letter here.)
    cd \filepro      (Use the full path to "filepro" here.)
    attrib -r *.* /s
