    My suspicion is that somehow your drive/folders/files attribute has been set to read only. Review your System Volume Information just to be sure.

    Moving thread to Windows.

    Just right click on Start> Explore All Users> Organize> Properties to verify folders/files properties and see how the attribute is being set.

    You might have to do this on different folders.
