Why does every folder show up as Read Only.
This is the case even after ensuring that nothing is read only.
 
My Read Only Property is a square with a Green fill.
It is the standard Read Only property.
 
The problem is that I can't change it.
If I clear the box, then apply to all sub folders/files, then recheck it, it
shows up as read only again.

They are not read-only. Notice that the read-only flag is gray,
not black. The gray means "not applicable." The read-only
attribute is not used for folders.

Did you bother to read the web page that was given in this thread twice by
two different posters?

That's normal behavior. Just igmore it. It doesn't mean anything. Did you
read the Microsoft page I (and Shenan) pointed you to?
 
Yes I read it. I got it now.
