We have Vista Business version 6 on our new computer. I tried
to install Adobe Reader, but get this error:

"The Temp folder is on a drive that is full on inaccessible. Free
up space on the drive or verify that you have write permisson on
the Temp folder".

I navigated to c:\windows\temp and right clicked temp - the
write-protect box was selected. I de-selected it and clicked ok,
but when I checked again, write-protect was still selected.

My account is Administrator - should I not be able to specify the
folder attribute?

Thanks,

Folders are not 'write protected', note that the box is a filled box, not a
check mark or empty. The Attribute 'write protected' does not apply to most
folders in Vista. You will need to look elsewhere for your problem.

Oops - I mistated myself: I should have said that the "Read Only"
box is filled. If I click it once, the "fill" changes to a check-mark;
when I click it again, the box is empty. It cycles through
filled/checked/empty.

When I choose "empty" and click apply, it always reverts to
"filled". How can I make it accept the de-selected state?

So "Read Only" does not indicate a write-protected condition?

Not on folders, no.
