Every new folder is read only!

For some reason, every time I make a new folder, it defaults to read-only and I can't change it. It's really messing with my .bat backup files. I'm running XP Pro SP2, fully updated. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
 
Hi,

Just a quick thought....

Are you doing this over a network?

and is the file your creating just inheriting the "parent" folder attributes?

Cheers

No, this is not over a network. The last two folders are on my d: root directory...but it happens everywhere for some reason.

Thanks.

It doesnt matter if it is over the network or not, he is right ensure that the folder options are not set to inherite the parent folder properties...

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???
