Read Only Folders

[Night Owl]

HI,
I'm running Windows XP Home with two accounts, one for the kids and one for
me (as administrator).

I've noticed when trying to run LimeWire on the PC that all the folders,
when I'm logged in with either account, are Read Only. I can only change
this for the administrator in the administrators account but not in the kids
account. This means I can't copy files into those folders. When I add a
folder, that too is read only, so I can't even delete it!

Anyone got some idea on how I can resolve this, please?

Peter
