Why do folders have the read-only attribute?

I appreciate your help. Please realize that my question is not about
belief, faith or trust. I understand the kb's very well and it isn't
necessary, nor am I requesting you to make things any clearer.
Thanks again.

Add the 'attributes' column to a detailed explorer view and see if an 'R' appears there. Even if it does, it doesn't affect your ability to write files to the directory, it simply tells explorer to parse the desktop.ini file.

So you aren't gonna tell us what is actually not working for you because
of it?

Yeah, and he checked the attrib status from cmd and RO is _not_ set, so
what is he going on about?

Yeah, MS can censor me at a moments notice but true scum-sucking vermin
like Ron Grossi they leave on the server half the day.

You're just special Kurt.
