No, you're mistaken. They aren't read-only. The read-only flag
has no meaning for folders. When you look at that check box, it
can have three settings: on (black check), off (empty box), and
not applicable (gray check). Folders have that gray check mark.



Whatever your problem with editing files in the folders is, this
isn't it. What kinds of files are they, and how are you trying to
edit them?

But you run in Classic style. It's easier to be confused in XP pretty style as they are not based on ticks (which is obvious) but coloured in squares.

Yes I do run in Classic style. But apparently so does the OP,
since he says "The read only check box is checked with a grayed
out check."

You fuckwitted nincompoop. You cannot save a file over the top of a file
that is already open. Take a guess as to what is holding the file open, you
