XP, Folders and Read-Only
I am trying to tell the wretched XP that I want the folder in question NOT read-only, but it resets it to read-only after I uncheck the box and click accept. This turned out to go for other folders as well. What the heck is going on and how can I have them STAY at NOT read-only?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't really matter if the folders stay read-only, since for the files in them the attributes will be set to whatever you set them to and this read-only attribute for the folder doesn't seem to have any function whatsoever anyway - you can still delete it without any double-confirmation appearing.

if you sometimes still had any problems with xp default 'user friendly interface' attributes changing, you can use "attrib" shell command in your command line
type attrib /? for the reference |

Anyway the read-only attribute is indeed dummy for folders at least in WinXP.
