Hello,
I can't remove "read only" attribute from any folder. In all folder, "read only" attribute is checked. But when I tried to unchecked "read only" and applying OK, then it becomes as previous. Even I have restored my system , but it not working properly.
How can i solve this problem? How can remove check the "read only" attribute??
Thanks
Saikat
Hi jobs3saikat and welcome to SF
Are you saying that the hidden attribut is actually set?
Or is it just "hilighted" like in my screen shot.
Can you actually copy files into one of those folders and can you open one such file, alter it and successfully save it back?
(Like creating some random text file, load it in notepad, change something and save it back without error message)

Hello DG,
Thanks for your reply. My problem is just like your screen shot. When I reset the read only attribute from the inner files properties, then the are looking fine. But I can't remove read only from the folder just like your screen shot.

But what about Sledgedd'a line 4?
Look at the cause and workround on this page
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
You are mistaken...the "Read only" attribute is NOT set. just highlighted !!
Proof: If you click the highlighted box twice you'll get a check mark. Only if you click apply or OK after that the folder is set to Read only.
I can't say why this box is highlighted but it doesn't seem to cause any problems on my computers.

If you took the time to read it clearly says: "Read-only (Only applies to files in folder)"
Folders have no read-only attribute.
