Just got my brand new HP Pavilion $1,900 notebook with Windows-XP
Professional installed (the disk that came with it is SP1a). Files and
directories
like "My Documents" are set to read-only. So I go and open the properties
menu, clear the read-only attribute and select apply to this folder and all
files
and subfolders, then select APPLY. It goes through all the motions and seems
to work just fine (no error messages). So I go back and look at the
attributes
again and guess what? Everything is still read-only!!!! So basically I can't
create files anywhere on the disk except in the "temp" folders. And yes I am
logged in as myself, I am the owner of the folders and files, and I am an
administrator. ONLY MICROSTUPID COULD HAVE A BUG SO
BLATENTLY OBVIOUS AS THIS!!!!!!!
How could ANY company let such a idiotic thing get out to release???
Soooo, what ten-hour long procedure do I have to go through to clear the
damned read-only attribute??
