ALL folders are set on READ ONLY - WTF ?

ALL the folders in my vista are set to read only, which makes it
impossible to edit files inside folders.

Whenever I uncheck the 'read only' and close the window, it then checks
it again automatically.

I've tried taking ownership over a folder and files, and still the same
problem.

It happens to all the folders in my vista, how to solve this ?

Hello Korvix,

This may be able to help you with setting them as not read-only.
