Re: Argosy HD-363N

Ok, thanks. As I mentioned, XP does funny things with the RO attribute.
The green box you are seeing is (officially) the XP way of saying "some
are set, some are not" when showing the properties for multiple objects.
However, for folders, XP overloads the RO attribute with other semantics
used by Explorer, and in fact making a folder read-only doesn't change
its properties at all (for example, you can still create files in the
folder).

If you're *really* bored one day you can read the details here...
