Read Only files

While working with my picture editor, I went to save a
picture and a warning popped up stating that the folder I
was trying to save the file to, was a read only folder.
I know that in XP, only files can be read only. After
checking the properties for several files I found them to
be unchecked for read only, so that is not my problem.
Why can I no longer save pictures, and why is the system
telling me that the folders are read only?

Click to expand...

Open Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options>View - Check: Show hidden
files and folders.
 
I don't think that has anything to do with mm being
unable to save files due to folders reading as "read
only". These are not hidden files.

Thanks anyway

What program is your picture editor???
