Hello again!

Well then, if by hardware means making stuff read only isn`t possible, i suggest trying with a memory stick that has the possibility to lock it (similar to a diskette).

Anyway, I've searched about your problem and found out:

"(...)It's greyed out because folders generally can't be read-only. It's greyed out because the read-only property of a folder either makes all files in the folder read-only, or not read-only."
(a discussion on why a lad couldn`t uncheck a read only property of a folder)

I`ve seen that read only folders was a problem in XP SP1, fixed in SP2. Some explanation on this topic is provided on Microsoft's Site. It's a workaround that problem to fix it. Maybe you can do the reverse of that "fixing" and succeed in what you need.

Please let us know what's new!

Regards,
Shpid3r
