Chris,

That does seem strange that the directory is read-only and won't allow you to change that. Have you tried removing yourself from the domain and using the computer stand-alone? Are you logged in as an administrator on that machine?

>Strange, I have those accounts setup for access from both the Active Directory domain and the machine but no go. I just noticed that the directory is flagged as read only. I remove the read only attribute in properties and apply but if I go back, the attribute change dosn't stick. I even deleted the directory and recreated the folder. I can, however, create folders and files within using Windows Explorer.
