Your folders aren't read only, new ones aren't being created read only, and windows is NOT indicating that they are to you. Click the box three times. Someone answered you last post too.

It does not mean set. Blurred means it's not telling you (that's how I know windows isn't indicating anything to you). It's technical name is indeterminate.

Read only changes the behaviour of a directory not at all. Not even a little bit.

Hi, for different reasons I've the same problem of S N (I've to run an old dos software). The most funny and freaky things is that also on my 2nd partition FAT32 it's the same. New folder or older folder allways are showed as "readonly". Of course under windows xp it's not a problem, it's possible to read and write on it but an old software seems to see it like a real readonly folder!
What shall I do? I need that such sw works for a while to have back some data
thanx.

I have no idea what you've on about. What is it, databases or windows scripting FSO object. What error message. What's your code (though I'm not an IIS programmer I am an FSO programmer). What are the error numbers the code returns. What line of code generates the error.

NO they AREN'T (unless you set it on of course or are using a folder like fonts that must be read only).

WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use the Attrib command at a command prompt
(Cmd.exe) to view or remove the Read-only or System attributes of folders.
Type attrib /? at the command prompt to view the syntax for the Attrib
command.
Warning If you remove the Read-only or System attribute from a folder, it
may appear as a ordinary folder and some customizations may be lost. For
example, Windows customizes the Fonts folder and provides a special folder
view that permits you to hide variations, such as bold and italic. It also
permits you to change the folder's view settings in ways that are specific
to fonts. If you remove the Read-only and System attributes of the Fonts
folder, these customized view settings are not available. For folders that
you have customized by using the Customize tab of the folder's Properties
dialog box, the folder icon and other other customizations may be lost when
you remove the Read-only attribute.
If a program cannot save files to a folder with the Read-only attribute,
such as My Documents, change the Read-only attribute to System by using the
Attrib command at a command prompt.
For example, to change the Read-only attribute to System for the C:\Test
folder, use the following command:
attrib -r +s c:\test
Note that some programs may not operate correctly with folders that have the
System attribute set. To remove both the Read-only and System attributes
from the C:\Test folder, use the following command:
attrib -r -s c:\test
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows stores file and folder attributes in the file system with the file
and folder name, extension, date and time stamps, and other information. The
Read-only check box for folders is not available because it does not apply
to the folder. You can use this check box to set the Read-only attribute for
files in the folder. However, you cannot use Windows Explorer to determine
if a folder has the Read-only and System attributes set. To determine the
attributes that are set on a folder, or to change these attributes, you must
use the Attrib command from a command prompt.

The read-only folder attribute isn't the issue. Check share permissions
(everyone=full control) on the share, and then NTFS permissions on the share
and/or subfolder.

I have a P4 machine with Windows XP ProfessionalSP1 nstalled on on it.
I am running IIS on the machine for testing my website.
Recently I tried running the commands for running scripting host commands:
-server.createobject(scripting.filesystemobject) in an asp page.
The asp page which was trying to run was basically aiming to upload files
to the server.
However ever since I have been experimenting with the asp page containing
the scripting command , all the folders on my hard drive have become read
only.
I am not able to reset the read only attribute of any of the folders. Even
if I unset the attribute, on rechecking i find that it is still read only.
I have checked the permissions in NTFS for all the folders.
am logging in as the administrator and am the owner of all the folders.
I have also set the permissions as "Full Control" on all the folders.
Ever since that problem, I have stopped using the ASP page.
Inspite of all this, I am still not able to unset the readonly permission to
any of the folders on my drive.
Any new folder that I create also becomes read only.
I am also unable to unset the readonly attribute of any new folder as well.
This problem is for any folder on my drive including the folders outside my
Internet publishing directory. IT is important to note that any of the files
inside the folders are not read only. Only the folders are Read-Only.
I think this problem might be related to the service pack or the version of
Windows Scripting Host. Does anyone have any idea if this problem is not
related to Scripting?.
Please help

I have tried clicking the box three times.
The clicking cycles the boc in three states-Ticked,Blank and Blurred. The
box for my folders remains blurred (instead of the empty state for
non-readonly or ticked for full read only). If I click the box the blur
goes. But on rechecking the folder properties, I again get the box as
blurred.
And the advice given to me in the previous response was for the folder in
which uploading was to be done. However I am facing the problem for all the
folders on my drive, irrespective of whether they are in the upload folder
for IIs or not.
All folders on my Hard disk are behaving similarly (having the box as
blurred).

How to correct the indeterminate status?
It does not mean set. Blurred means it's not telling you (that's how I know
windows isn't indicating anything to you). It's technical name is
indeterminate.

I dont know if the read only status is causing problem or the indeterminate
status is causing problems?
However I do know that some of my programs that modify a database within
some folders give me an error message that the database or object is read
only.
I have checked the file of database, which saya it is not read only (the box
is clear).
Further How do i correct the indeterminate status?
Please help.

I just need a solution to my problem-That my program is showing error that
the database object is read-only and the program is not writing to the
database.
I think that the folder attribute might be the solution. If there is some
other solution please advise.
Rewrite windows and reverse the design decision to not show the attribute
for folders. Write your own explorer.

If you are incapable of solving the error message I am getting, why are you
using foul language.?
If the program gives an error message, there is an error.
It might be that the reason may be someting else which I am not able to
diagnose.
If you can help, i am waiting.
YOUR F*CKING FOLDERS AREN'T READ ONLY.

You are describing how WinXP assigns attributes to folders - they are
all always marked read-only. Not a problem. You can still delete and
rename folders if you wish.
