Windows 7 - Can't uncheck read-only attribute

I got a major problem. All folders i create have automatically the read-only attribute (blue box, not checked), and i can't get rid of it. I searched the forum but didn't find anything that would be of much help. Can anyone help me please?

Hi there Eiji try taking ownership of the folders: Take Ownership Shortcut

Just to check, are you the administrator on your PC?

you might want to take a look at this as well: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/10...attribute.html specifically the Command Line bit, as you have already tried the GUI method

Firstly, thanks for the quick response

Yes, i am the admin.

and i tried the ownership and the command line method. Didn't work

I'm sure you have already tried this but I'll suggest it while I try and find you a solution:

when you take ownership it doesn't automatically give you full control, you will need to give yourself full control under properties>Security.

something to check while im thinking

also try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 I've only skim read it so not sure how helpful it is

One Last thing: are the FILES inside the folders read only? or just the folders themselves?

Just the Folders, the files are free to use

Now that is good news You don't have a problem at all.... basically Windows ignores the Read only command on Folders it only applies it to Files. those folders are yours to do what you wish with

There is a problem, i can't acces the files in the read only folders by programs that are not from microsoft

Woops sorry obviously I misunderstood another quick question for you: where are you making these folders? also did you try what I said about changing permissions?

the read only aplies on all folders created anywhere (desktop, C, D).

And i've got full control, and it still doesn't work

I'm going to go and ask for some help from some of our Guru's hopefully someone can help
