I recently reinstalled Win7 and moved a few files from the os to the new one. I am the only user, and thus administrator. All I wanted to do was change the permissions on a folder I had on the dekstop to not be read only. No matter what I did it would continue to revert to read only. I made sure I had full control. I changed ownership of the file. I tried going through cmd using attrib -r c:\my-folder, but it just kept saying incorrect parameters.
Long story short. I ended up getting really frustrated and changing ownership of my OS drive from trustedinstaller to myself. This didn't solve my problem and I'm still unable to change the read only status of the folder in question mocking me from the desktop. I read later that changing ownership of the C drive can cause many a issue.
Did I screw up, and what can I to change this darn folder?
