Hi, I need to change the attributes of a folder. I open
the properties box and the box next to "Read-only" tick
(check) in it. Rather than black or no check at all. I
click on it and it goes through the process of changing
but when I close the properties box and come back to it
its still there - checked in grey.

I am running XP pro and am the computer adminstrator

Thanks
John
