Hi Jack,
For folders:
The Read-only and System attributes is only used by Windows Explorer to
determine whether the folder is a special folder, such as a system folder
that has its view customized by Windows (for example, My Documents,
Favorites, Fonts, Downloaded Program Files), or a folder that you customized
by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties dialog box. As a
result, Windows Explorer does not allow you to view or change the Read-only
or System attributes of folders.
You Cannot View or Change the Read-Only or System Attribute of Folders

Why do all my folders show a green dot in the Read-only
Attributes box even after I've cleared that symbol and
removed read-only from the folder and its content?
