Removing "Read Only" property

C

cmar

I have one subfolder in "Documents and Settings" that I cannot change from
Read Only. I can uncheck "Read Only" for "Documents and Settings". This
removes "Read Only" property from all its subfolders except "Documents and
Settings\...\...\XYZ."
Even though I uncheck "Read Only" for \XYZ\, all the files within it
remain Read Only.

Any ideas?
Thanks, CMA

Windows ignores the "read-only" property of folders.
