When exactly does the protection return?
- Immediately?
- After a reboot?
- After you have run certain programs?

Try this:
1. Click Start / Run
2. Type cmd {OK}
3. Type cd "\SomeFolder\SomeSubfolder" {Enter}
(Insert the correct folder/subfolder names for the location
where you keep your .mp3 files)
4. Type attrib *.mp3
You're supposed to see something like
A R c:\SomeFolder\SomeSubfolder\xyz.mp3
The "R" means that the file is write-protected.
5. Type attrib *.mp3 -R
This will remove the write-protection. Do you get
any error messages?
6. Repeat Step 4 above.
