This only came to my attention recently as i am trying to do something so i thought you could help me. I run Windows XP and i notice that all my folders are read-only. So when i try and un-assign the read only and click apply everything seems fine. I then click ok and leave the properties of the specified folder. I open up the properties again on the same folder to see if it has worked and it's back on read only. It's not just a simple tick, it seems like it's also shaded too. Maybe you could shed some light on this issue.
If it's shaded that means that either some of the folders you selected (if you selected multiple folders) or at least one of the subfolders or files are read only.
i am actually trying to select the mirserver folder so i need to change it from read only in order for it to function the account creation properly
Just C:\
But please note that it is every single folder in my computer that suffers from the same symptom too.

so ur on admin account, and u got to folder properties and uncheck read only and if it asks u to do that to all subfolders/files etc u say yes and when u got back it still is on read only?
Also have you tried resetting the file attributes using the Command Prompt?

Probably wrong but worth a try
1. have you check that your admin account has full access (Don’t know if you can restrict adim lol)
2. Have you tried disabling Virus checker. They may stop Modifications
