    Why am I unable to turn off the 'Read-only' box on any folders? Even new, empty folders...


    I use AutoCad and need to assign my log folder to a folder that has full read-write permissions. The folder is messing up and I discovered the problem is that the log folder has the Read-only box checked. I can un-check it, but as soon as I open the folder again the box is re-checked.I have noticed that ALL my folders are this way. It is as if some sort of basic setting won't allow that box to be turned off.

    :)

    in Windows 10 Network and Sharing
    I can't take ANY of my data folders off READ ONLY.: The title pretty much says it. It's a disaster for just saving my work, and screws with backups so badly that I've actually disconnected from the cloud. The read-only attribute gets copied with the folders.
