All of my folders show Read-only in the Property->General check box.

If I clear this, a dialog (Applying Attributes) shows all the sub-folders
being cleared, but when i reopen it, it's back to Read-only again!

I have a peer-to-peer wireless network with a Linksys router.
Both PCs (under XP SP2 or its tablet equiv.) behave the same way.

Hope you can help,
Peter

This is not usually a problem (and won't cause issues with access or
networking). Are you actually *having* a problem or are you just curious?

It's definitely a problem as I have an application that can't
update a file across the network (Access Denied).

Thanks for the link, that should solve the problem.

Hmmm. Well, I doubt it's for this reason.....it's more likely an NTFS or
share permissions issue, or network config problem, or firewall.

You got it!

I had to enable my application to work across the network.

Thanks,

No prob. So it wasn't the read-only thing, then, correct?

Could you provide more details, please? I, too, have a simple 2-
PC MS network and have copied both files and entire folder
contents across the network without an "access denied" error even
when the target folder already exists. I do, of course, get a
warning that it already exists and do I want to overwrite it.

No, for some reason windows has to be told which applications
will be working on its files from across the network.

I didn't have any problem with normal copying in windows,
or even modifying files with Notepad, but
if I tried modifying a file via an unsanctioned appl
it gave the Access Denied.

I just had to tell windows to allow various appl's
to work on its files. Unfortunately I can't figure out
how I did this! I thought it was thru the Properties
of C:\->Sharing, but I can't find it. It involved Browsing
for the appl over the network within a pop-up dialog.
