That's been true for a long time. It's meaningless.
But you mentioned files, too. Forget the folders. Are
there actually files you can't edit? If so, what program
is telling you that? If you edit a TXT files does Notepad
refuse to save it? Does all of your software refuse to
save changes to anything? If all you're concerned about
is read-only folders then you don't have to worry. Even
on XP folders are read-only. It allows the system to
assign custom icons using a desktop.ini file.


I just tried to open a libreoffice document on the d: several folders in
and got a box saying that I can open the read-only or I can open a copy.
The file properties does not shot read-only. Also, if I drag/drop a
file from the desktop to any folder in the d: drive, it says I can't do
it saying I need permission to do this. Yesterday I did it. Today I can't.
