uncheck "READ ONLY" property for directory, keeps changing back to READ ONLY
I copied lots of files and directories from a CD (moving computers).
I uncheck the properties box for read only of a directory, apply it and close the properties box. I open the properties box and READ ONLY is checked again. Why won't it stay closed and how to I keep the READ ONLY UNchecked? Thanks. |

That "box" is used to "switch" read-only on the CONTENTS of the folder,
it DOES NOT apply to the folder itself. Ignore it. Paul wrote: I copied lots of files and directories from a CD (moving computers).
