[OPLINTECH] Can not change read-only folders (Christopher Brose)

[shivelri@oplin.org]

I had check this and it was already on. I have the problem solved now 
however. The red box i was seeing is just a MS thing something about 
showing the box even if it is not read-only. Anyway the reason I was 
looking into it was a program was claiming to not have access to a file 
or director path, that it was read-only. Turns out the program was 
looking for a file "MyDatabase.zdb" but the file the installation had 
put in was "My Database.zdb" I removed the space and "BANG!" it works. 
The program was ZoomBrowse EX (ver 2.6), in case anyone else comes 
across this problem.

I appreciate the help and speed of your reply Christopher.
