cant stop "read only" folder resetting

[Mabs]

have a folder, its "read only". set it so you can write to it
come back, its "read only" again

its for a mtw2 mod so its rather annoying having to reset all sorts of settings every time, any thoughts ?

Get Ownership of the Folder first (it's in the Advanced Tab), then when you are Owner of the Folders and the Files, go on and reset the Read-Only bit.

check to see if a parent folder has read only rights and its forcing the folder to be read only

/edit:
allowing indexing for faster searching or whatever wouldnt cause it would it ? :f

in XP you may need to go in through safe mode to claim ownership
