What are you trying to do with it? The C in LPCTSTR stands for Constant. So you are maybe better off without changing it's permissions.

Hope this helps

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

char *p = const_cast<char*>(s);
error C2440: 'const_cast' : cannot convert from 'LPCTSTR' to 'char *'
help me ,thank you

are you compiling for UNICODE. If you are using VC++ 2005 that is the default.
If yes, then typecasting won't work. you have to use a conversion function to convert from wchar_t* to char*
