    There could be something in the folder that is being used by a running program - what is the folder? is there an exe that might be running?

    its just an ordinary folder with sub folders in it i thought there was a way in properties you could un protect the file?

    right-click the folder, go to properties, and uncheck read only, apply, ok, and try again
