What is default Read Only attr. on new folders?

Hello!

If I create a new (empty) folder somewhere below drive C, it becomes
"shaded" read-only. I see this if I choose the properties. What does this
mean? Even if I deselect read-only to make the box completely unchecked, it
goes back to shaded-checked the next time I see the properties. Is this the
default behavior? I thought the read-only check box would be unchecked by
default.
