all my files in my personal file folder have become read-only

Hello.  All of my files have become read-only and continue to save as read-only.  The individual files do not have the read-only option clicked in their properties, but the file folder holding all of the files does.  I have tried un-clicking the read-only, I hit apply, and the command is applied, but then folder immediately return to read-only.  

Next I tried going to "run" "cmd"  typing: Attrib -r +s c:\jenni

but that did not work either.

Just tried a few other fixes that were mentioned on one of your forums..

1. file, options, advanced, deselect "always create backup copy"

2.running word as an administrator and enabling write and modifiy

3.Open Windows Explorer.  In the upper left is a pull down menu that is labeled Organize.  Click it and go down to Layout, select Details pane to turn it off.  

Still no luck.

Please help!  I have many, many files that I am constantly editing and working with.  Need a fix.

Thanks so much,

J
