My DRM folder must have become corrupt. When I try to change the read only
properties in Windows Explorer, it keeps coming back to "Read Only".

Thanks

Look at your other folders. They all show "Read Only" also. That's just
the way folders display in Windows XP. Notice that it's somewhat grayed
out. If you want to check files within the folder, use Select All to
highlight all the files, right click, choose Properties and view and/or
change the checkmark in the "Read Only' area.

The read only attribute on folders is ignored in Windows. It's not actually
set to read only, it's in an indeterminate state.

You Cannot View or Change the Read-Only or System Attribute of Folders

This article states, in part:

"Unlike the Read-only attribute for a file, the Read-only attribute for a
folder is typically ignored by Windows, Windows components and accessories,
and other programs. "
