Windows XP Home SP3 issue.

[boggom]

We have a pc in the office that won't allow you to unselect the read only property of files/folders. The tick box does clear on clicking apply but if you check it again it is ticked again. I am logged in as Admin (only one account is active) and I have tried in save mode as well. Any ideas?

Quick Google revels it's a pretty common problem:

also here, second last from the bottom seems to be a fix: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/804268.htm

Thanks.

I already tried a few google results but nothing worked. Hence I asked the pro's on the forum.
I'm tring a couple of things now and will let know if something works.

Thanks for replying though...

Try upgrading your PC to Windows 7 If Possible, much faster and better
