Three small concerns after Upgrade to XP Pro

Upgraded from Windows 2000 Pro to Windows XP Pro.
Had no problems with Win 2K Pro.

With Windows XP Pro, I have several concerns (3),

1.) Almost all folders, When I right-click and select "Properties",
they display as "Read-Only".
When I click to deselect Read-Only, it seems to take. EXCEPT, that if I
check the same folder, again, it will again show as "Read-Only". I can't
seem to change this attribute through Windows Explorer.

2.) After I upgraded, there are all of these "Desktop.ini" files in almost
every single folder. Can I delete them? They are just annoying.

3.) I use "Classic" Start Menu. When i right click and select either
"OPEN" or "OPEN ALL USERS" on any folder deeper than "Programs", instaed of
the folder opening, like I am used, and like is supposed to, I, instead, get
an arroneous "Move Items" window? This is very annoying. Any ideas on how
to fix this?
