the check box has a square instead of a check mark, and if i change it, the
folder changes back to read-only
 
Hi,

"Read only" as an attribute does not apply to folders, only files, which is
why you could not change it (although you can seemingly uncheck it, it's
actually greyed out). It appears because a folder has been customized, but
is actually meaningless.
