Read-Only Attribute

[Tim Carew]

When viewing the properties of some folders in Explorer, I
see that the 'Read-Only' attribute is set - the check box
IS cheched, but the checkbox itself seems to be grayed out
behind the checkmark. When I clear the box and Apply, I
expected the attribute to be removed, but when I look at
the properties again, the attribute is still on. Anyone
have any ideas what is occurring here?

Thanks, Tim Carew
