files in the Documents folder are read-only

All (or at least most) of my documents in my Documents folder became
read-only. I believe it must have happened in the last week.

What caused it and how do I undo it ? When I right click on any
file/Properties, the Read-only box is unchecked.

This is disturbing ......

Thanks.

If it only happened in the past week, you might try System Restore to a point
prior to that time.

Hi,

The files are? Or is it the properties of the Documents folder that you are
looking at? It's normal for a folder to show as "read only" as it doesn't
really apply (it only applies to files). This happens when a folder is
customized but has no actual affect on the system.
