Hi

The read only attribute doesn't affect the files in that folder.

Your response is not relevant and unethical: The first
thing you need to know is NOT why he wants to do something.

As he won't post properly and wants to waste others time I'm prepared to =
indulge him in his fruitless search till he gets fustrated and wants to =
act as an adult.

If one wants help one posts the problem. He is posting what he thinks is =
the solution (which it isn't) to a unknown problem.=20

Seeing he is so smart why is he here asking questions.

The ****** is getting exactly what he deserves.

It isn't on, although it may appear to be.

When you look at that check box, it can have three settings: on
(black check), off (empty box), and not applicable (gray check).
Folder have that gray check mark. They are not read-only and
there's nothing to take off.

And scum like your candy-ass come here leaking your feces
all over people who have difficulty phrasing questions. I
prefer the first scum to the latter.
