I have a problem that just started, when I create a
folder (anywhere), it is set to read only and I cannot
change it. The check box in properties has a box in it
rather than a check mark, it does not give an error when
I clear the box and click apply but it does not change it.
I have started in safe mode as admin and it still does
the same thing.
The only changes I have made prior to this problem were
in admin tools/services when I started rps so I could
send a fax. Ive looked through them and they seem to be
ok, Ive also used system restore and that did not help.

Thanks
Jason
 
That is how it is.

First, attributes like read-only are not permissions.
Permissions are something different, found in the
Security tab within the Properties of an NTFS object
(use of a Safe Mode boot may be necessary).

The read-only checkbox on folders is only a switch
used to set/unset the attribute on contained files.
If you really want to view/change the attribute on
folders, use the attrib command at a cmd prompt.
