How do I get rid of the "read only" attribute as regards a folders attributes? I go to a folder on my desktop and then properties and uncheck the read only box, go to apply and then okay.When I return to this box, the read only box is checked again but somewhat greyed out. Went to cmd.exe and tried to change a folders attributes but no luck.
