Write Access Problems

I am running XPHome. We have four user profiles - one for
each of myself, wife and two kids. All four are listed as
Administrator in order to let us install and run our own
software/games/etc.

Periodically, one of us are denied write access. Anyway,
this is how I see it. We get "cannot access file"
errors, "general file" errors or "disk full" errors when
trying to save a file or when trying to install software.

If I right click on a folder, like my personal Documents
folder, the Read Only attribute check box is grayed. If I
uncheck it and choose Apply, I get an activity progress
bar. When done, I choose OK. If I go back immediately,
the attribute is grayed again.

How can I check the write access attributes for each user,
or change them so that each user has full access to write.

Thanks in advance.

Bryan
