Re: Make files not editable or deletable after installation

Hello and welcome to our forums,

In order to achieve this, you can set the "Read only" attribute on your files. This way, only an administrator will be able to rename, delete or modify the content of a file.

In order to achieve this, you can go to "Files and Folders" page, click on one of your files and press the "Properties" button from the toolbar. After doing so, under the "Properties" tab, under "Attributes", check the "Read only" option and then press "Ok".

Let me know if this helps!
