Hello,
I am trying to run a code which has an access to some folder that
contains files and folders,the strange thing is that this folder becomes
read only ,I change it before running the debugging to no read only (it
and all the things it contains) but it comes to be read only again
before i manipulate this folder. How comes?
Thanks

I have the same problem, kinda, and not from programming. I believe
it has to do with the 'permissions' set in Windows XP at the
"administrator" level. I code from PowerUser level, but if I code
from Administrator level all files become Read Only. So perhaps check
the permissions at the admin level.

Folders, by default, or NEITHER read-only nor writable. If you look
closely, that is not a two state check box - it is a three state box. Clear
is writable, checked is read-only, and gray (which is what you will see) is
neither. The option is only there so you can, using explorer, set the
read-only check box, and then select apply to all contents, and change all
the files in the folder to read-only. Next time you look at the folder, that
check box will be gray.
In short, the setting of the folder has no impact on your ability to
write files into that folder.
