XP Folder read only checked

[MaxBurn]

My bos and I are working on a piece of software that in it's process of working will create a folder to put temporary items in. On our new corperate machines that have Windows XP on them the process bombs out as it can't put items into the folder we think because the folder is marked read only.

He found the links below reguarding the fact that XP has all folders marked read only but I don't think that's the problem as I can make the software work fine on my home machine as well as the software developer which uses XP on their machines.

Any clues?

The computers that work have XP Pro SP2 from a default XP install, and the corperate computers have a default XP Pro SP2 image from the IT department.




Why can't I remove the read-only flag from a Windows XP or Windows 2000 folder?
