Hi Kennard,

Ignore it - the system does. The "read only" attribute does not apply to
folders, and is ignored by the system even though you see it. The problems
you may be encountering in the games your are playing are caused by
insufficient privileges, you likely need to add read & execute, and possible
write permissions for your user group.

HOW TO: Set, View, Change, or Remove File and Folder Permissions in Windows
XP
