does 7 arbitrarily change files to read only?
i might be getting paranoid, but i could swear it does
seems like whatever folder i pick it is set to contain read only files
i never set anything to read only
can i tell it to stop?
what is it good for?

Take a look at this MS Support article: You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
Hello Madhatter,
If the Read-only box is blue or empty, then it is not set to be Read-only. Please also see:
Read-only File and Folder Attribute
Hope this helps,
Shawn
oh, so blue box means nothing in particular...
way to go making things clear, microsoft...
thanks, Brink
Folders don't have a read-only attribute. If you read the properties box it tells you right there. "Only applies to files in folder." Why does everyone miss that?
