read only folder attribute on XP

Check to see if you are also in another group
like "administrators". If you are then you have all
rights unless someone explicitly didn't mark Full
Rights. Click on the advance button to see advance
security settings. If your username appears more than
once and one of them has Full permissions then that why
you can do everything. Anybody not in the list or just a
plain user should only have read & execute rights.

Hello,
Does anyone know why XP applies the read-only folder
attribute to all the folders although you can access,
delte and manage those folders? On top of that, if you
change that attribute by removing it in the General tab,
it gets back.
Thanks a lot
