I had the same questions tonight. The best answer I
could find is located here, although it did not clarify
WHY this is as it is. I mean, **ALL** folders I create
get that unchangeable read-only thing... any and every
folder I create anywhere. Very strange. Anyway, here's
the link. I know it won't help your curiosity, but this
was all I could find, and since it described the
situation perfectly, I think it's the best we're gonna
get :(
