    Default folders read only


    I reset all my default file folders and found them in read only as I did it. Is that normal?

    I also found Dr Web instead of Saved Games in the name menu start up. .

    Ever grateful

    Hi Avie,

    Yes, this is normal. Would you like assistance on making them not read only?

    Thanks,

    Folders don't have a read only attribute. Only files.
    (Folders always have a solid block (not a check) in "Read-only" on properties)

    Hi Avie,

    When you say default folders, are you referring to system folders (e.g AppData) or folders such as My Pictures and My Documents?

    Thanks,
