When we share *.nwc files for certain purposes, sometimes someone makes edits or changes to the file.
Suggestion: Developers to create a security for *.nwc files so that unauthorized persons cannot edit or change them.

I can't speak for NWC but, IMHO, I doubt this will happen. For a start, NWC have been particularly inactive on the forum for quite some time now, and from other posts they seem to be singularly unresponsive to enquiries via the primary website too.
Additionally, and FWIW, I just had a quick look online and as far as I can see Musescore, Finale and Sibelius don't do this either.
More practically, do you have a particular need that cannot be met by sharing mp3 files generated from your work?
Or perhaps you can create PDF files if the score needs to be shared.
Windows Copilot tells me:
Since NWC doesn't seem to have a way to make the song files read only, Copilot tells me
Absolutely useless for the matter in discussion.
This "protection", present since the DOS, was inserted for different purposes.
You can remove it without any problem.
The PDF files have the possibility to make them "read only", but even that...
In the good old days we had floppy disks that could be 'write-protected' ;)
Oh, yes. But you're quite modern! :))
Do you remember when the floppy disk were... well, floppy?
Each package of floppy disks contained a bag with the labels to stick on them and some adesive strips to put on the dent in the right part of the floppy to make it read.only, The exact same function of the sliding tab of the "plastic floppies" you described.
And do you remember when you could "double" the capacity of a "single side floppy" by cutting a dent in the left part of the floppy and then inserting it upside down in the drive? :D (Typical of the Apple IIe 5"-1/3 floppies and previous computers with 8" floppies)
Gosh! Things of the previous millennium!!!!! :))
