Hi
I have been experiencing this extremely frustrating problem recently, on several different computers using the windows XP operating system. What happens is that all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, the folder setting gets set to "Read-Only". When you right click on the folder, and click on properties, you can see that "Read-Only" property is selected. Well, I dont want the folder to be read only, so i uncheck the box, click on apply and then on okay. Immediately after than, when i right click on the folder again, lo and behold, the Read-Only box is checkmarked again!!!
Now the main problem that I get into is that that our company has a software that scans documents and also exports audio clips to folders on hard disk or network drive. And once a folder gets set to read only, the program cannot scan or export files into that folder. (I can still create files in that folder in other ways, or copy and paste.) I have not been able to do as simple a task as to set it back to NOT read-only. I have had this experience on 3 different computers, 2 running windows XP, and 1 running windows 2003 server. I have actually lost a paying customer becuase of this issue, and 1 guy had to change his entire harddisk to avoid this problem.
Its crazy that something so simple could be such a big problem, but it is causing major crisis. I hope someone will be able to help me.
