Unable unset read only attribute of folders!!!

[S N]

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.

Please help

Sounds like you have lost ownership of the documents somehow. Check out
this article and see if it helps solve the problem.

HI,
I had the same problem I believe I solved the the problem
by uninstalling both iis and my html editor.rebooted then
reinstalled both programs,if you try this do back up any
important files I don't believe this is needed but it a
safe method. Let me know how this works. DBarselow

All folders are "read only" this is by design and can not be changed. You
can change the attributes of the files in the folders.
