Folders attributes "readonly" can't be changed

[Darren]

I have some folders copied from my burnt cds and the
readonly is ticked. I want to take this off by going to
properties and unchecking it. I select all folders and
subfolders. I click ok. However when I see the attributes
again they seem to not have changed. I'm using an account
which is not the restricted one. Any ideas ?
