>Help! Every file on my XP Prof pc is Read-Only. It is NTFS, has access to an NT network, has Norton Corp AntiVirus. Drives are shared for "administrative purposes"??

If you go from the top root and select all, right click, remove the read only flag and replicate that under the child directories, will that reset everything?

Of course, that will be adjusted to all files and will change the current status of the previous files who really needed to have read only.
