I see. So there are three different states of this check box: empty, checked and "squared". That's a new thing for me. I always thought there were just two states of both check boxes and radio buttons, but I think I can handle that. Thanks for laying it out.

On another note, I've discovered that while the desktop icon I assign to a folder is there when I first create the folder and set it all up, it shrinks the instant I write or copy a file into the folder, either through Livecode or manually on the desktop. Do you know why this might be happening?

I only see the icon I assign when viewing by medium and large icons. Could this have something to do with it?

If you notice, when you set the read only aspect of the folder using the

Its greyed out. This is because you set the folder itself.  When you use
the checkbox in the proprieties inspector for the folder, you're actually
setting the rules for the contents of the folder, not the folder itself.

I suspect, if you create a folder, then check that box, then check its
attributes from the shell (attrib foldername) that the folder itself won't
show R as one of its attribs. The checkbox isn't doing the same thing as
the shell call.

Freaks me out a bit actually!
