I changed the attribute of a file to read only. Subsequently I wanted to change it back to normal. It apparently allowed. But when I opened the file the title carried the "(read only)" attribute. I tried to investigate. I found that the attribute of the folder had changed to Read Only without my doing it. So I checked the folder in which this folder was saved. Its attribute had also changed to read only. So I went to 'USERS' and found its attribute had also changed to read only. In every case the attribute was getting applied to all sub-folders and files. I tried to change from the top, "users". It does not work. I can not change the attribute of any file back to normal anymore. This is terrible. You must address this immediately. L.S.Karandikar
