Folder Attributes

[Guest]

I just did a clean reinstall of Windows xp Home Edtion SP2. Now all of my
folders attributes are read only. I uncheck the read only box click OK then
open the permission sheet and its selected again. What can I do to correct
this.

...all of my
folders attributes are read only.

Isn't this normal?

As far as XP yes...I have a second computer w/win 2000 and it always run
smooth.

I just looked @ another xp computer and yes it is the same. I'm tring to
restore a MSMoney file and it can't find the path.."the file is read only"
message comes up. On my win 2k computer I can restore the file OK. Maybe if I
put the file in the C:\ directory instead of a folder it will work. I'll try
that when I get home.. Another advice would be helpful.

The program was the same version as the back up. I copied the file to C:/
(not in a folder) and was able to restore it. I had no problem restoring it
w/win 2k only xp. The reason I reinstalled xp, I was unable to download files
from the Internet..I was getting "file is corrupt" messange. After formating
the hard drive and reinstalled xp it solved that problem but then developed
the other. But now everything seems to be OK. Thanks for the help.
