In Windows Explorer, select the profile directory (the one above

The dialog that appears should have checkboxes as follows:
Attributes: [ ] Read-only [Advanced...]
[ ] Hidden
Click the "Read-only" check box once to clear it, or more than once
if necessary, but don't double-click it. Then click the "Apply"
button at the bottom. Windows will prompt you, asking whether to
apply the change only to the folder itself, or to the folder and all
its contents. Tell it to apply the change to all the contents. After
a minute of thinking, it should mark each and every file and
subdirectory within the profile as read-only.
You don't have to go through hundreds or thousands of files one at a
time by hand.
Just FYI, my top-level SM 1.1.X profile directory also indicates Read
Only when viewed in Windows/Explorer and my application is running
normally.
Note that when I view the properties of individual files (not
directories),
they don't show as read only. Perhaps checking the directories is not the
correct approach?
I'm running Windows/XP SP3, btw.
Items on my system are the same as your system--the profile directory
level indicates "Read Only" when viewed in Windows Explorer and the
files listed under the profile are not "Read Only." This fact is true
for both versions of SeaMonkey.
Well, it seems clear that this is not your issue, the problem lies
elsewhere.
