OfficeReadOnly

OfficeReadOnly is a tool that allows a user to open any Office Documents as a Read-Only document directly from the File Explorer.

It’s main features are:

• Integrates into Windows File Explorer or the with the “Send to” folder.
• Supports Documents, Workbooks, Presentations and Diagrams.
• Supports both Microsoft Office 2003 (.doc) and Microsoft Office 2010 file extensions (.doc, and *.docx).

Microsoft Office does not supports opening files as read-only when right-clicking a document from the File Explorer menu and it does not support opening file as read-only from the command prompt.

OfficeReadOnly was created to solve this issue.
