Removing Read-Only Attribute

[McMillan]

I am using Win. Small Business Server 2003. After creating a shared folder,
I noticed the Read-only attribute setting. I've tried everything I know to
remove it so users can save to the directory. I even tried the ATTRIB -R
command at the dos prompt. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
THanks

=============================
Read only files? Or read only Folders?
(Read Only doesn't mean anything on
a folder...if you notice...they all say that)

Yes, I notice all the folders indicate Read only, but when I try to save a
file to that folder the message states "Can not save to read-only folder"

Sorry, I don't have a solution...maybe the
following articles will offer some ideas:
