No matter what I've tried, I cannot rename several folders
or files. The problem appears to be in the "read-only"
attribute.

I can click on properties and "uncheck" the read only
option... apply... OK. But when I immediatly do the same
procedure, the "read-only" box is STILL checked even
though I've just "unchecked" it.

Thnaks,

JerryW
