Windows 10 ~ *.mbf files ~ 'Read only' attribute

Question

Sign in to vote

I have just upgraded to Windows 10 and find that it saves my *.mbf files (on the physically separate internal D drive) with the 'R' (read only) attribute ~ this makes backing up by overwriting a multi step process as I now have to go to 'Properties' and unset the 'read only' flag. Windows XP never behaved this way. Does anyone know how to force Windows 10 to save backups made by Money WITHOUT automatically adding the 'read only' attribute?

See Cal's comment on read-only in the last post in this thread:

I'm using Sunset. It manages backups nicely despite their read-only attribute, but I'm guessing that you are in the UK and using 2005. Maybe that version doesn't deal well with overwriting backups that have the read-only attribute?
