File Attritbutes Problem

Ste- · 2003-09-04 21:30:38

Running Windows XP Home And when trying to change the attritbutes to archive I apply changes then go back and it's back to read only. I've tried to change this with DOS aswell but to no avail. Can anyone help ?

Without trying to make you seem stoopid - Is it a file or a folder?

Windows Xp automatically displays all folders as read-only when you look at the properties, i'm not sure if this is only on a NTFS filesystem or not.

The folders aren't actually read-only though.
Check any folder on your system, you will see the same.

Just a thought....

It's a folder and I know all folders are "read-only" but a program wanted to write to it and couldn't.
