| | impossible to remove "read only" flag I tried to remove the "read-only" flag of a folder and it's files. It's impossible. I select the folder, then properties, uncheck "readonly", click ok and select "apply to all files and folders". i don't get any error. but if I go to properties again, "read only" is still set!! |

Don't worry about, there's plenty of real problems in Vista to keep you up nights.
