How do I get rid of the read only property on the program files folder ?

I'm an administrator but every time I return to the folder it has been
reset back to read only again. Grrrrrrrr!

You Cannot View or Change the Read-Only or System Attribute of Folders

You may experience any of the following symptoms: You cannot view or change
the
Read-only or System attributes of a folder by using the Properties dialog
box for the
folder.

Default Permissions for Shared Folders is Read-Only Access for Everyone
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;328065&Product=winxp
By default in Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), if you click the Sharing tab
of the
Properties dialog box for the folder, and then share the folder for other
users to
access over the network, the folder has permissions that give everyone
read-only...

If you open a network folder in Windows Explorer and then try to open a file
from or
save a file to that folder, the associated program may report a sharing
violation, return
an "access denied" message, or open the document as read-only.

If nothing here helps, Take ownership of files and folders, that will surely
do it.
