Default File set to read only

Hi all

I have an Access 2003 app that is set to compact on exit. This fails because
the origional directory (a sub directory of Program Files) seems to
constantly re-set the Read Only flag. How can I get over this? All my other
machines running XP dont suffer from this problem

Thank you

Default File set to read only

Directories are neither read only nor not read only. Note that the box is
filled in (color depends on your settings) not empty or checked.

Files can be read only, the idea of read only does not apply to
directories/folders.
