Can't change from read only
Hi All,
I have just installed win 7. When I'm creating a new folder it sets it as read only. When I'm removing the read only from the check box it is remains read only.
What can I do???
Thanks,
Nahum

Unlike the Read-only attribute for a file, the Read-only attribute for a folder is typically ignored by Windows, Windows components and accessories, and other programs.
This behavior is by design.
You cannot change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Thanks but it didn't help.
I have ran attrib -r -s C:\myfolder and it is still read only
The "Read Only" attribute of which you are speaking, it is one of the following:
- Clear (Read Only if Off). The folder, and none of the files it contains have the readonly-attribute set.
- A Checkmark? (Read Only is set). The folder, and all the files it contains are read-only.
- Filled in? (Read Only is not determined). Some of the files within the folder are read-only, and some are not. This state also holds true for newly created folders.
try
does it say,Code:attrib C:\myfolder
orCode:C:\myfolder
if its the first one, then the folder is not readonly.Code:R C:\myfolder
Anyway, the readonly option in the properties dialog only says "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)"

OK so it is not read only. Thank you so far. Now the problem is that new folders are created as read only so I can't copy recursevly from my linux machine using ssh.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Nahum

This behavior is by design.
