re: Default ''Read-Only'' of files and folders Tuesday, August 26, 2003 at 3:23 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Michael (1 messages posted) RE: I had this happen to me as well. Funny thing is that it was NOT always like this. I am running Win XP on two machines, and for whatever reason, as of Monday Aug. 25, 2003, both machines began having this problem. I just tried the REGEDIT suggestion given by Deep Sea Angler, and much to my dissappointment, it DID NOT WORK. Can someone PLEASE come up with a valid cause and solution to this HUGE ANNOYANCE ????
