When i try and open Maya on my PC, it says there is an error writing to a file, and i checked where the file was, and noticed the folder was read only, so I unchecked read only, and tried Maya again, and it came up with the same error, so i checked the folder and it had been re-checked as read only. Going up throught the folder structure, I've noticed the entire 'Documents and Settings' folder on the C: drive has been checked as read only, and if I uncheck it, it just gets re-checked again straight away, yet other programs haven't brough up any errors; I can still save microsoft word documents etc. in My Documents. If anyone can shed any light on what is happening here, I woudl be very grateful, Thanks

If the "Maya" is Autodesk Maya, have you tried their Support Site? i_XpUser

All folders are read only, in everyone's computer. That just means the folder is read only not the stuff in it.
