Re: 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.

Well, its got to be SOMETHING. If the default were "Read/Write," then a
whole lot of folk (possibly different from the current batch) would be
asking "Why is the default 'Read/Write' instead of 'Read Only'."

I heard that, when desiging the window for folder attributes, the designer
wanted to put "N/A" but his "N" key wouldn't work.
