SYMPTOMS
When you navigate to the local directory of a Visual Studio .NET project under source control, and then change all the permissions from the default setting of read only to writable, you receive the following warning message when you open your files from source control in the Visual Studio .NET integrated development environment (IDE):

You receive this warning for every file in the project. When you click to select the Apply to all items check box, this does not have any effect.



RESOLUTION
At this time, there is no workaround for this issue. You need to either change all file attributes back to read only or proceed through each warning dialog box as it is displayed.
