Problems after updating to build 10166

For some bizarre reason that is how MS decided that the Properties window should display the "Read-only" attribute on folders (it's been like that since at least W7).

Thanks for the correction. I was only checking because that's the error I get whenever I try to save anything - that the destination is read-only - even when I am saving a new document. I assumed (perhaps mistakenly) that the problem was with directory permissions rather than with file permissions. It does not seem restricted to Word docs; game files similarly refuse to save to My Games. I can send them to the desktop, however, and then use Windows Explorer to manually cut and paste files to their rightful locations (using the admin override each time) but I cannot rid my system of the obstacle.

On reverting back to my original account and trying other things it soon became apparent that my profile had been corrupted.

Thanks for the suggestion! This will be my next avenue of investigation.....
