Default Recovering dbx files saved on disk

Is there any way to recover old dbx files saved on a CD? I am unable to open
the files -- they are marked "Read Only". I get an error message that access
is denied.

Move the files to a empty folder on the hard drive.
Highlight and remove the Read Only attribute.

See the last paragraph here to import individual dbx files:
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx As Bruce indicates, you need to copy the file to
the hard drive and clear the read only attribute first.
