'Read only' defaults in My Pictures, so I can't copy and paste

[rajbury]

When I right-click, and uncheck properties, it just defaults back. It means I can't copy and paste pictures into any of the folders. Any suggestions?

After you uncheck read only did you remember to click on "apply" before closing?

Hi Rock Cakes....followed the link, but the instructions don't seem to apply to Windows 7

Hi Commoner, yes, I did click on 'apply', but it just defaults back

Hi Commoner, thanks, but still not getting anywhere. I followed instructions as set out but got error message 'incorrect syntax for command'. I tried it with and without spaces, no luck.
