    all folders remain "Read Only"...

    all folders remain "Read Only"...and I can't get them to hold the setting when I de-select it in Properties. I seem to remember something about Symantec or Win Fax causing something similar, but I can't seem to find any information. There was a registry edit of some kind. Any ideas?
