thanks Will but it didnt work like that yesterday and now I cant save any
files is there any way I can change it back

Hi

Have you installed any software that might have made the change? If not,
try a System Restore back to a point before the problem started.

That the folders are marked "readonly" is not the cause of whatever problem
you are having. All folders on all XP systems are readonly.

Many thanks Will I think you hit the nail on the head there. I've removed a
program and replaved a few folders and everything is working now. Thanks a
lot for your help
