I'm using WindowsXP. If I use Windows Explorer and create a new folder and then
check the properties of the new folder, the new folder is Read Only. Seems odd!!
So I went to my laptop (Windows ME) and created a new folder and the Read Only
attribute is not checked. ?????

Could someone with WindowsXP create a new folder and then check the attributes
to see if their new folder is Read Only.

Thanks!

Steve
