    ReadOnly is only "supported" for files. For folders is does NOT mean
    "ReadOnly" at all, it means that Windows will read Desktop.ini before
    showing the folder. If you want to get rid of the attribute you have to
    use ATTRIB in a DOS shell.

    Open a command prompt in the parent folder,
    Then do: ATTRIB FolderName -r
    Works fine here...
