Have done this (attrib) and it doesn't seem to "take".
Any ideas?
BTW: what's the blue underline of a folder designate?

What's the trick to changing folder's attributes out of read only and have it stay that way? They seem to take the change OK, and the files within them stay OK, but re-opening the folder takes it right back to read only.
Thanks in advance
