How to reset the option to edit readonly files by choosing "Make Writeable"
When refactoring read only files resharper used to prompt with a dialog box that had four options
Edit In-Memory, Make Writeable, Cancel, Help
Unfortunately it had a check box "Don't show this dialog again (Never allow in memory edits)". I accedentally selected this and now I cannot use resharper to edit readonly files. This is frustrating me. Is there any way to bring this dialog back again.
According to this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2323310/how-to-reset-the-dont-show-this-dialog-again-settings-for-visual-studio-and-re
The solution is to go in Resharper Options/General and check Always show error dialog when exception occurs.
But I can't find this option in Resharper 5.1 on VS2010.

Hello Pratik,
That's actually an incorrect solution. The right solution is to open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\SourceControl
registry key in a registry editor and change the value of 'UncontrolledInMemoryEditDialogSuppressed'
from 1 to 0. Let me know if this helps. Thank you!

Hi,
I updated the StackOverflow link with a reply that contains a script to fix the problem.
However, is there a way I can suppress the dialog and automatically make documents writeable when I start editing them?
Justification: Version control systems like ClearCase set all files to read-only, and any files that are writable are considered "hijacked" and candidates for "check out". There is a Visual Studio plug-in for ClearCase, but I don't use it. The plug-in actually makes using ClearCase more painful.
Do I need to write my own Visual Studio plug-in to handle this dialog interaction?
