Driven mad by folder permissions

I am using Vista Ultimate which I have had for a year. I have just
reinstalled the OS to fix some development issues I was having with
other software which I have done a couple times in the PC's history
without issue.

Just some more background I installed everything with a local admin
account. I then joined my domain with a non domain admin account but
did give the user local admin rights.

Now the problem is that all my folders are marked as read only and I
cannot change it regardless if I am logged in locally or with the
domain. I have never had this issue before.

The only thing I did differently then any time before was I turned off
the users control trying to solve a issue with a DB when logged in as
the domain user, but turned it back on when that did not resolve the
issue.

Something stinks is Vistaville.

Re: Driven mad by folder permissions

FOLDERS are neither read-only nor not read-only. Only FILES can be
read-only. Note that the 'Read-only' box when looking at a folder is a
filled in box NOT a check.

That is true. hmmm ok I think that the issue is something else maybe a
IIS permission problem.

Thanks Michael, Now I can move on to tracking the real issue.
