If you did, that was highly unwise and the system should have warned you against such action.

What was the C: drive shared WITH ??

As regards the files that are now Read Only, right click on one of them and click on 'Properties', You should see a tick in the box beside 'Read Only' - UNTICK it to return it to normal.

Quite how ALL your files became Read Only is a bit puzzling. Perhaps you could shed some light on what you were networked with ?

Thank you for your reply

The default share of c: as C$ was removed and all files became read only.
Tried unticking the read only but it would not let me.
I could not get what you mean by what i am networked with
