Windows cannot delete the read-only folder

Status:

In XP, the entire box in front of the read-only is filled with a green background color (not a check mark), which is checked in window 2003 but gray.

You cannot change the file read-only attribute ).

Cause:

In Windows XP, all folders have the "read-only" attribute. If you cancel the read-only attribute, you will find that the folder is still read-only, but this does not affect the file usage. In Windows XP, "read-only" in the folder attribute does not represent the original literal meaning: For file systems, the read-only attribute of the folder has no practical significance. Even if a folder is read-only, you can still create, modify, or delete files in the folder. In Windows XP, the "read-only" attribute of the folder indicates that the folder is "customized. If the read-only attribute is removed, all "Custom" information, labels, and backgrounds of the folder will be lost. Therefore, the user interface is no longer provided in Windows XP to set the read-only attribute of the folder itself. The "read-only" status in the folder property is always the third State. When you select or clear "read-only" in the folder properties, you set the read-only attribute of the files in this directory.

Status:

When using IIS, it may be reported that you do not have permission to access the directory folder. The root cause may not be the cause.

We recommend that you check whether the permission for this folder is granted to the user of IIS.

Open "my computer"-find the folder where the website is located-right-click on it-select "properties"-switch to the "Security" tab and give it to the relevant users (according to the actual situation, all permissions, including but not limited to Internet guest accounts and web application accounts.
NOTE: If your system is XP, click "Tools"> "Folder Options"> "View"> remove the check box before "use simple file sharing". After confirming, the "security" tab is displayed in the "properties" dialog box of the folder.
