Hi,

I am using XP. When I view properties for *any* directory it shows Read Only
although they are not. Maybe technically a directory (which is a file) is
read only meaning that application software cannot write to them directly,
only the OS can. That doesn't mean that applications cannot create and write
files in that directory.
