I recently installed windows 7 64 bit on a SSD and now, it appears that all of my folders and most of my files are read only. I have tried to remove the read only aspect of them, or take ownership of the drives or folders but I can't seem to have a permanent solution to this issue. I imagine it might have something to do with policies, but I am not familiar enough with them.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I ran tweaking.com's permission repair utility. I don't know if that was the problem, but it kind of makes this question invalid. My apologies.

  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
  2. Locate the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explorer
  3. On the Edit menu, point to New, click DWORD Value, and then type the following registry value name: UseSystemForSystemFolders
  4. Right-click the new value, and then click Modify.
  5. Type 1, and then click OK.
  6. Quit Registry Editor.

  7. Open a new command prompt as administrator and 

    attrib -r [path you want to change] By exemple :

attrib -r D:\

    It will remove the read only attribute.
