write-protection

To do your attribute change fast and easy, use attrib in a CMD box.
It saves you a lot time.

The command should be about: Attrib -R *.* /S

I also have just experienced the same problem?
I will work on the problem tomorrow and I have added a post tonight.
"Problems Read Only Attributes cant be changed?"

With my self I think it might have something to do with "Network setup
wizard" or
the fact that I switch on and off the "Simple file sharing".

I am admin and I am part of a work group and the other machine is also the
same?
So the only cross contamination I can think of is the set up network wizard
disk?

The UI cannot change the read-only attribute on a folder - only on files.
If you need to change the attribute on a folder, use the command line tool
"attrib" (as demonstrated earlier in this thread by Neils).
