If your filesystem is NTFS, then you may not have permission to alter the directory (see properties advanced)
That may be due to the options set on windows explorer, or applied to the logon id you are using Usually, if there are files, or folders within the folder you are adjusting the system will ask if you want the change applied to just the folder, or to all it's contents as well JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Slattery, Tim - BLS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 2:10 PM Subject: Re: change read only status - XP Pro > folders are always read only for whatever reason. More precisely, the read-only attribute is meaningless for folders. When you display "properties" for a folder, what you see for the read-only attribute is a three-state checkbox in its third state. It's shaded with no checkmark in it, and it's trying to tell you that this attribute doesn't apply here. Admittedly, it doesn't communicate this very well. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
