I am operating Windows XP-Pro with full administrative priviledges. When I create a new folder, it appears as read-only although I can delete it, rename it, save to it, and pull from it. However, when I try to download my Olympus Camera pics to it, it states that it is read-only. I have tried to take the check out of the box for read-only and it continues to return to the box. How do I force any folder to remain NON-read-only in XP?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Is this folder in the root of the drive?

If not, then make sure the parent folder and the drive itself is not read-only. Using Windows Explorer, right click on C: --> Properties --> Sharing --> Permissions --> and make sure there's more than read-only checked. Then each folder down to your folder... make sure the permissions are properly assigned.
