Has anyone noticied that all directories are marked as read only, even
though the directory isn't? This is freak'n annoying. I spent 3 hours
trying to get the directory to be able to write to and I have just
wasted my time.

Anyone know of a hotfix or a q article explaining this?

Read only is an attribute that has no meaning for folders (the
directories are always open for writing), and XP makes an alternative
use of it. You can change it and on Apply it will ask if you want the
change applied to all contained objects, but the display of it for the
folder will revert to greyed
