Hi
i recently installed windows xp on my computer. But im
having a few problems. The main thing is that whenever i
create a folder or a folder is created it is set as "read-
only". I cant untick the box in properties or anything.
This is causing a lot of problems because for example if i
try to run a game that creates a temp folder i get an
error saying i dont have write permsissions. I am
wondering whether i have full administrator rights? ive
been in user accounts, and the account im using says
computer administrator. Can anyone suggest anything here?
Id be extremely grateful.

Thanks
