When a program locks down a file or folder, you first need to know what program is doing it. I found a nice free program that tells you; it's called WhoLockMe. You can give it a try at: http://www.dr-hoiby.com/WhoLockMe/
It's for Windows NT and XP, n.b.

What is the name of the folder? Are there any hidden readonly folders or files inside it? You might need to get Norton System Works or reformat. It could be a bug worm or virus.
