View Full Version : Windows XP Shared Files Read Only Attribute

All my files in the Shared Documents Folder are now Read
Only (that wasn't the case when I installed the system).

The result of this is that I can't delete or add files to
the Shared Documents Folder.

When I try to change the Attribute under properties from
Read Only, I get and error message - Access Denied disk
is full or write protected.

Any ideas on this one? Is it an unintended consequence of
a recent update?
