| Sorry for the cross posting but I need an answer on this one fairly quickly.
| 
| Am looking at migrating an NT workstation setup over to XP. Just done my
| first box as a standalone PC, not connected to the network.
| 
| After XP SP1 has fired up ALL the folders attributes are set to read only. I
| can't change this. If you uncheck the read only and apply the changes it
| goes through the motions but the folder attributes get changed back
| immediately to read only.
| 
| This is going to cause me a huge problem as I need to get the system32\spool
| folder NOT to be read only because of how one of our PDF writers works.
| 
| What gives?? There are not policies in place. This is a standalone, fresh
| install.
| 
| Any help/info greatly appreciated.
| 
| TIA
