Hi. I am using XP Home 5.1, SP3. I usually have no problem creating and
deleting folders in the My Documents directory. But in some cases, when I
try to delete a folder, I get the error message "cannot delete folder. the
storage is write-protected".
I have deleted all the documents within the folder, but still get the same
message. I checked in Properties, and the folder is not marked as Read-Only.
But somehow XP thinks the folder is write-protected. There are no other
applications running on the PC at the time that I try to delete the folder,
and there are no hidden files in the folder.
Does anyone know how to remove the write-protection from a folder so that I
can delete it? Thx
