Why do all my folders in XP Pro stay read only even if I try to
change their status?


If you'll look more closely at the check mark in that Read-Only box, you'll
see that it's gray, not black. You can also verify this by clicking a few
times in the box; it will cycle among *three* states: unchecked, checked in
black, and checked in gray.

A black check means the item is read-only and an unchecked box means it's
not read-only. But the gray check means that it's neither. The read-only
attribute is not pertinent to folders.

So no, your folders aren't read-only, and what you are seeing is perfectly
normal. There's nothing to worry about and nothing to fix.
