[Guest]

I try to change folder attributes from read only but when I go back and look
it still says read only.

I try to change folder attributes from read only but when I go back and look
it still says read only.

The read-only attribute is not applicable to folders in XP. If you look
more carefully at the attribute, you will see that it is grayed out,
indicating that this option is not available for this object.

If you will tell us what you are trying to do that makes you think
changing the attribute on folders will help (and it won't because of the
above), then someone can help you solve the problem.

You forgot to tell us exactly how you try to change the attributes.

This works here from cmd.exe:
attrib /D /S -R subdir

What problem are you trying to solve? The Read-only attribute for
directories does not what you might think.
