Read Only

[Johnt199]

Hi everyone...
I had problems the other night when all my profile settings messed up. Files became hidden for no reason, and desktop settings vanished.
Have managed to get most of that back, but have noticed tha all folders have now become read only which I can't clear.
Help please.

All folders are always Read only. It's a meaningless setting which Windows ignores. I've never found an explanation about why Microsoft did it that way.

I checked and it's the same on Win98SE...all folders have the Read only attribute, even one I just created to see what its attribute would be.
