Folder Keeps Locking Files

[ilcaa]

Everytime a file is created in a particular folder it becomes Locked, I have not turned anything on, or changed anything, I even did a system restore to 2 days ago when this behavior wasnt taken place...

I have assigned "Everyone" as permission to these files, but everytim a file is locked.

why has this behavior changed, and how can i leave the file as "NORMAL" meaning no need to assign permission for eveery file that is created! HELP!!

This is typically due to anti-virus, which tries to scan the files. Try disabling your anti-virus and see if it still occurs, if so then maybe try a different anti-virus, or adjust your settings.

You appear to have Vista but this is a Windows 7 Forum!

i dont have an anti virus running,

This says it all. Download and install Windows Security Essemtials very quickly. Do a complete scan, then do the same with Malwarebytes and CCleaner, they are all free and easy to find on Google.

Disabling an existing A/V and not having one are not exacty the same thing!

It was implied in my second sentance that you would only be disabling your anti-virus temporarily, and if that fixed the problem install a different anti-virus or change its settings. This was only to test if the problem was fixed by doing so.

The fact you have no anti-virus means that your system could well be infected by something that is causing the problem, so yes.. install an anti-virus.

for some reason, when files are created within these folders they have the Lock on them.. annoying!!!!!!

You said you've assigned "Everyone" permissions to the folders/files, which implies you messed with the security permissions, right? Are the "Administrators", "SYSTEM" and "Users" entries still in place? If not, then add them back...
