Re: Why do some jpeg files have a padlock symbol?

Also, in windows explorer, go to the tools menu, select Options. In the dialog go to the View tab. Scroll down the list and untick "Hide file extensions of known file types".

Once done, double check that the file is actually a jpg. The extension will be .jpg or .jpeg

I've not heard of windows changing the icon depending on whether the file is read only or not so can only assume it's not actually a jpg file

screenshots may be useful if possible.

Sorry if that's a bit patronising


Thanks for your suggestion, but the images are Jpeg and it isn't a 'read only' problem as this was one of the first things I checked. I have had a couple of suggestions (via another forum) and these look promising. I'll be trying them out in a couple of days.
