Unable to remove Read Only by uncheck the box for a folder
I have a folder that is read only. If I uncheck the read only and click either Apply or OK, it seems goes away on the screen. But it come back when you reopen the folder. Anyone can help?
Greetings, zzhang2006 !
You may not be able to change the read only status because the folder is customized. Here is a registry edit to work around problem:

What I really need is to recursively remove read-only for the whole folder, moh10ly's command does the job, while SaxiconlosOne's answer solved the puzzle for me, I had mistaken the filled green square for the
read-only check mark. So sum up, there is no way to remove the read-only of the whole folder , including
all files in the subfolder, by just ONE click. Correct? (in fact I am a computer science professor)
Thanks
