Windows 10 read only folders

Post by elton.sucek »

I'm trying to Auto-Organize some songs, as I always did with mediamonkey, but after updating to Windows 10 I can't anymore, I receive an error informing "The folder xxxxx can't be created" (something like that, my MM is in portuguese). Even running MMW in admin mode.

Searching the forums, I found this issue may to be related to read only folders in Windows 10. The problem is, the folder is indeed maked as read only, but I just can't uncheck it, even with admin rights. Nevertheless, I can create folders and files inside this foder without problems, if using Windows Explorer, for example.

Anyone has a clue?

What happens if you create a new folder and share with all? I am fairly new to win10 but have not experienced this problem yet

Seems to be default in windows 10 the music library folder to be read only, but it does not block write acess for whats inside the folder.
