When I try to turn off thewrite protection on my folders on an USB hard drive everything works fine, after the usual security questions, but next time I check the folder, it's write protexted agin. How come? I'm logged in as an administrator and don't receive any error messages when trying to turn off the write protextion. Thanks in advance, Tobbe |

Tobbe The 'Read Only' attribute for folders is redundant and is ignored by Windows. You will notice that the read only box is filled in, as opposed to having a check mark or being empty. See the following article for a more complete explanation. You cannot view or change the Read Only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, or in Windows Vista http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Tobbe" <Tobbe@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:14030DEE-76A4-4415-ACBA-8556AD3BB2A1@microsoft.com... > When I try to turn off thewrite protection on my folders on an USB hard > drive > everything works fine, after the usual security questions, but next time I > check the folder, it's write protexted agin.
