[OPLINTECH] Can not change read-only folders

[shivelri@oplin.org]

I am having an issue with a staffer's XP Pro computer where every folder 
is listed as a read-only folder. The read-only check is not appearing as 
a checkmark it is instead a red square in the check box. When I uncheck 
the read-only it seems to work but when I re-open the folder and it is 
read-only again. I have tried both the "regedit" fix and the command 
line "attrib" fixes suggested  by microsoft and other  forums, I have 
even tried logging in as the safe mode administrator and it does the 
same thing.  I have read about a solution that involves transfering the 
files to another computer and taking control of them from there and 
doing a reinstall on the original computer. I would rather not do this. 
Can anyone else give me any ideas for a solution?
