Re: Can't get rid of write-protection. "Michael Walraven" <mexxwalraven[ at ]verizon.not> 12/3/2008 3:32:18 PM Folders are not 'write protected', files are possibly 'read-only'. Note the comment alongside the 'read-only' box 'only applies to files in folders'. All folders will show the same filled in box. Also note that the box is a filled in square not a check mark as it is for 'read-only' files.

"Dennis Bryant BPC Solutions" <bpcsolutions[ at ]comcast.net> 12/20/2008 12:36:43 AM have you tried going into the command prompt and setting permissions using "attrib" Also try taking ownership of the directory?

Re: Can't get rid of write-protection. "Michael Walraven" <mexxwalraven[ at ]verizon.not> 12/20/2008 12:52:51 AM 'write protected' does not apply to folders/directories, only to files. Whatever the OP's problem was it was not that the folder was write protected. The check box that is seen is a filled in square, not a check, also note the comment with it, applies only to FILES within that folder.
