Second NTSF partition ... can't get rid of read-only on folder.
I try running a launcher.exe program and it reports "Launcher requires write permission to ... directory.
First, I am definitely logged in with admin rights.
I tried right clicking folder in Windows Explorer, going to folder, and selecting properties. I uncheck Read-only hit "apply" and then "ok". Open folder up and it always has Read-only checked.
I tried the "attrib -R" on directory with no luck as well (note: if I do "attrib +R" I get 'R' in Attributes column under Windows Explorer).
If I display Attributes column it is blank.
I tried right clicking folder in Windows Explorer, going to folder, and selecting Security tab. I then added Administrator with full access.
What am I doing wrong ... pleas help!!!!1 person needs an answerI do too

This may not be abnormal.
Can you navigate to that folder at a command prompt as a
normal user?
What happens if you then type:
copy con: albert.txt
1
2
3
^z
(that last line is meant to indicate holding down the
ctrl key and hitting the Z key.)
then do a dir, and see if albert.txt
exists.
Is this folder shared? If so, check the
permissions on the share.
