I am in a directory and when I click properties there a faded tick in the "Read Only" Box.
I have removed the tick countless times and it always goes back to read only...even when it shows that the files in that directory are being reset.

I have checked the file options in windows exlorer and I have unticked "Hide System files " etc..and I have set the folder to full permission by administrator & user.

Can anyone help with a solution to permently remove the Read Only Tick so that I can make changed to the files in that folder. (ie save cfg file for the game...It keeps reverting to default)

Thanks in advance to all who reply.

regards....Joe M.
