Hi,
"Read only" is ignored as an attribute on a folder by the system, it only
applies to files. It is inconsequential to any problems you might be having.
That is more likely a permissions issue, the user account probably lacks
sufficient "write" privileges. Attrib does not change permissions, it
changes attributes. Cacls is used to change permissions from a command line.
This may also help:
