Read-only Folder
-
Has anyone ever seen a folder that kept making itself read-only? I have a folder that I created in my application's folder. I'm downloading files from a web site into that folder. Yesterday, it was working fine, but today, the folder is read-only and Vista won't let me change it to not be read-only...

Yeah, a lot of times when you have a virus or spyware on your PC they tend to do that with specific folders to prevent you from deleting them. Boot up your machine in safe mode and get rid of it (as long as you are sure its not used by a critical system application).
