As for making your profile work, just right-click on the folder (in Windows Explorer), choose Properties, and clear the Read-only checkbox. You'll be prompted to decide whether you want this to apply only to the folder itself or to all its files and subfolders as well; choose all. You may need admin privileges to do this, I'm not sure. when I do this and come back properties are still read only normally if I save to cd then transfere back to hard drive it clears but not now Hunh. Weird. When I do it (Win XP Pro SP3), I clear the check box, click Apply, choose Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files, OK, and it works first time, every time.
