    Fault : A document always opens read-only
    Fix   : Clear the read-only attribute and the recommendation flag
    Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-office-read-only

    Run as     : PowerShell as the affected user
    Expect     : 10 minutes
    Risk       : low
    Reversible : yes

    WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX
    The file follows the problem wherever it is copied. Start here.

    HOW TO UNDO IT
    Set IsReadOnly back to $true, or re-tick Read-only recommended, if the
    protection was deliberate.

    This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each
    one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints
    those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing.

    # Print every step and command without running anything.

    # Do not ask before each step. Read the script first if you use this.

Invoke-Step -Number 1 -Do 'Check the file system attribute.' -Why 'Files restored from a backup, extracted from some zip tools, or copied from a CD or a locked-down share very often arrive with this set, and nothing in Office says so beyond the words Read-Only.' -Command {
