Can't write to a created folder!

I am using Windows XP Pro Dutch with SP1 and all hotfixes/updates installed:
Under the Administrator's account I created a folder called 'Web', where my Apache document root resides. I also created a special Webmasters group, where my user account is a member of, and I have given this group full control to this folder. But when I go to my own user account and try to write to this folder, it's giving an error saying 'Can't create <filename>. Access Denied'.
So I checked again in the Admin account to check if I set the right permissions, it was still set to Full Control. Upon looking in the General tab of the folder properties, I noticed it was set to Read Only, so I quickly removed the tick (though it wasn't a tick like a V, more like the entire grid has been colored, dunno where that came from, perhaps a bug) and went back to my normal user account. I still couldn't write to it... Again I checked and yes, it was again set to Read Only, with the same grid filling bug.
Why for <insert name here>'s sake? I have set the Webmasters group to Full Control, what must I do else?

If you need any screenshots (in Dutch sadly, but I can add a rough translation to it), info just say so.

Thanks :)
 
I just restarted, and the problem solved itself :unsure: I haven't done anything in between posting this post and now...

So, thanks for looking, but it's not necassary anymore. Strange...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
