Folders locked in Read Only
I have searched for this issue but I think that I am using the wrong words for it. I am actually trying to set folder types in Windows Explorer to Music so my Zune software will find the folders. If I go to the customize tab of the folder properties window I can select the proper type and apply it, but once I leave properties, the types reverts to general documents, My files are either .wma or .wmv plus album art. All of that usually work in WMP. Can anyone please help.

Normally, the read only attribute does not apply to folders, thats why you will see the checkmark grayed out. I dont know why your selection of folder type isnt sticking?

I have read from some microsoft kb articles who had referred to the need to remove the Read Only attribute to free up the Folder Type attribute. That is the only reason I went after it thats why. Thanks

Check the below article and see if it works for you:
You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, or in Windows Vista
