I have folders, esp. in Favorites, that are read only.
When I try to reset with properties - apply - OK, it does not
work. Some postings say folders do not do this, but it is
preventing renaming. I have a single-use system, so it is not a
permissions issue.
The explanation straight from Microsoft:
"You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes
of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, or in Windows
Vista"

HTH,

You can view the RO/S attributes in Windows Explorer.
You can change either attributes with VB Scripts.
The article you refer to deals with attrib.exe, not with Explorer
or with scripts.
If you read beyond the "Summary" paragraph at the beginning, the
following paragraphs explain the purpose of the Read-only bit for
folders and why the Properties window won't change that bit and why
this bit is virtually ignored by Windows. It seems to me that this
addresses the complaints of the OP.
