    Select your project files then click properties and Uncheck "Read Only".

    To expand...
    This happens when you are using VSS with its option of "Use Read Only attribute" checked (default setting) as it changes all the files that are bound to a VSS project to read only attributes. Then if the files are cheched our the attributes are unchecked read only so you can make mods. Now if you unbind the project from VSS the read only attributes are still set so you cant edit them unless you manually uncheck all the files read only attribs.
