I originally posted this in the .NET newsgroup, but now it seems as though
it is more appropriate here. I have a folder that is read-only, and I can't
change it so that it is not read-only. I have tried unchecking the
read-only box, and I have tried giving myself full control over the
directory (even though I am an administrator on the Vista box). Every time
I try to do it, the directory stays as read-only.
Any solutions?
Thanks.

Well, after doing more reading, it doesn't look like this is just me. This
guy's site:
http://www.followsteph.com/2007/06/17/windows-vista-read-only/
has several references to threads in which people cannot change the
read-only property of a folder. My Google skills are failing me to find the
answer too. Does anybody know why I can't change the read-only property of
a folder on my Vista machine (it's a temporary folder I make in my Debug
directory during debugging)? More importantly, does anybody know how I can
fix this via normal administration and via code (some example code would be
cool too)?
My installation of Vista is just the normal RTM Vista CD from my MSDN
subscription. I setup my account as an administrator, and that's what I'm
logging in with.
Thanks again,
