Grey check in folder properties

[john]

Hi, I need to change the attributes of a folder. I open
the properties box and the box next to "Read-only" tick
(check) in it. Rather than black or no check at all. I
click on it and it goes through the process of changing
but when I close the properties box and come back to it
its still there - checked in grey.

I am running XP pro and am the computer adminstrator

Thanks
John

Read only attribute of folders is displayed with and
changable by use of the attrib command at a cmd prompt.
The box in the UI is a switch to control the attribute on
the contained files only.
