    Folder keeps reverting to read-only

    Every time I un-check the "read-only" attribute on a folder it automatically reverts the changes I've made.

    I tried taking full control of the folder as the administrator and as users and I've also tried using "attrib -r +s drive:\\" in run but it doesnt seem to work.

    How can I change the file to read only and keep it from changing back?
    (I'm on windows 10 Home)

    Music folder keeps reverting to Read-only

    My Music folder and the files within keep reverting to Read-only. I'm the owner (and administrator) of the file so that shouldn't be the issue.

    When I uncheck Read-only and Apply it nearly finishes but then gives me the message:

    Error Applying Attributes

    An error occurred applying attributes to the file:

    The system cannot find the file specified.

    I Ignore All and retry and it takes the same amount of time.
