When I was trying to edit a python project using PyCharm (an IDE), it told me that the folder was marked as read-only (square box). I open the folder in explorer, go to properties and uncheck read-only. I then press ok. I open the properties and it's set to read-only again! I looked up the folder hierarchy and all the parents are also read-only, all the way up to C:/.

The full situation is explained here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549 This is an extract that gives the general idea Windows stores file and folder attributes in the file system with the file and folder name, extension, date and time stamps, and other information. The Read-only check box for folders is not available because it does not apply to the folder. You can use this check box to set the Read-only attribute for files in the folder. However, you cannot use Windows Explorer to determine whether a folder has the Read-only and System attributes set. To determine the attributes that are set on a folder, or to change these attributes, you must use the Attrib command at a command prompt. I'm not sure what exactly is causing your problem but what you are describing in the folder properties is normal. share|improve this answer answered Feb 23 '13 at 21:54 David Marshall 5,15931224 1 Of all the explanations I found searching online, this is actually the correct one.

Whenever I retrieve an Office file from my portable hard drive that was created on another computer the file is retrieved as a "Read-Only" file. To save any edits I need to rename the file... which is rather annoying. If I go into properties on the file the "Read-Only" box is NOT checked. If I check and later un-check the "Read-Only" box I still have this problem. My IT guy suggests renaming the file but I sure would like to find a way around this... suggestions?
