Read-Only problem on D: drive!

So I am getting seriously frustrated with this read-only attribute on my server!

All of the folders are marked (with a grey-check mark) as read-only...all of the individual files are not read-only...and from what I read, it isn't "really read-only" or something stuid like that....however, some of my software will not work when the network folder is marked as read-only. I tried Microsofts thing on adding the registry value to the Windows Explorer key...however, that didn't seem to work.

Can anyone help ASAP? I need to get every sub-folder of D:\data to not be marked as read-only! (how hard can that be?!)

As I said, I have several programs that CANNOT have the folder marked as read-only. I know that it isn't really "Read only", however, half of my programs will not work under a folder with those properties. I have read & tried everything in that article & it isn't working...I don't know what is going on here, but it is really killing me!

I have tried to do the attrib -r -s D:\data /d /s, it runs, but then everything is still marked Read Only...what is going on?

Okay, so, I feel stupid...I didn't realize that Microsoft changed the default share permission to read-only...and that was my problem
