Every time I change the picture folder attribute from read only to no
attributes it automatically changes back to read only. How can I change it
permanently so I can edit the pictures?

Thanks for the help.

It's a protected folder, copy the pictures to another folder, edit them,
then copy them back.
 
Lenny,

Folders are not read only. The box is colored in as in "not relevant", the
box is not 'checked' as it would be if the item was 'read only'.
Pay no attention to the read only box on a directory/folder, it does not
apply.

You may have problems with ownership or permissions on the folder/files in
question. More information is needed if you would like more assistance.
(path and name of the picture file you are trying to edit, the program you
are using, the error message you are receiving would all be helpfull).

As an addendum, you will notice that the tick is a grey colour, rather than
solid black.

Grey would indicate that sub folders or only some of the files have that
attribute wouldn't it??

No. It does it for empty folders as well. The grey tick is there so that
you can deselect it, in order to make the contents lose the read-only
attribute, if any of those files have that attribute. You can also make it
solid black, to do the opposite. They certainly could have designed it to
be less confusing - maybe some tooltips at least.
