Locked tool pallets

I asked this in the ADT news group but didn't get an answer that worked.
Some how I have managed to make all the files read only. When I do a
properties on the file the read only is grayed and has a check mark in it. I
can change that go through the process but when I look at the properties of
that file again it is still read only.
Things I have tried.
1. Made sure I was the administrator. I am
2. Disabled my firewall. Didn't help
3. Started at the top of the directory ( c: doc's & settings )and tried
changing the read only there. That didn't work
4. I created a new administrator account and in the files properties the
read only is a green box.

#4 leads me to believe that its a user setting problem but I don't know
where to make the change to make all the files not read only. This has
locked down my tool pallets, I can delete tool but cant add to the pallet.

Any help would bee greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I recently dealt with a folder that was inherating rights from the parent, so changing the status did not help.
I had to click on the advanced button of security tab and uncheck "inherit props" to get it to work.
good luck

I don't have that option unless I am in the wrong place. I go to the
properties and there is no security tab.

Start by turning off simple file sharing if it isn't already off(tools,
folder options, view, at the bottom of the list.) Then make sure you are
the owner of the files and have full rights to the files. Then you have
the ability to make changes to settings, but may have to deal with the
inherit properties issue. Also, don't try to change properties while
autocad is running. You may want to restart (may have to be in safe
mode, can't remember at the moment if that is necessary)and make changes
prior to starting autocad.

Like your name.

Thanks for the ideas. One question. How do I determine if I have full rights
and the owner of the files?
It seems like there are allot of Jerry's out there so I have added the L for
years.

After you turn off simple file sharing, the security tabs will be
available and there you can see the ownership and privileges.
