Default How to unprotect files under WB 3.1
I've been told before, but I forget how.

Wish I could just right click and tell it to unprotect.

I cant recall off the top of my head, but doesnt WB3.1 have protection bits accessible via tools types/protection ?
Failing that you can use "Protect RWED" from shell

You cant change protection bits from Workbench. Instead, start a shell and type 'protect <filename> +rwed'.
