Unable to rename a folder

Whan making a new folder and I want to rename it, I enter the name of the new
folder and hit enter. I then get an error responses file or folder does not
exist. I have gone into the properties of the Folder and have uncecked read
only, have appled the change and then clicked on ok, but it keeps on
defaulting to read only. Can anywone suggest a way of fixing this problem. I
am very frustrated by it not accepting the read/wirite change

Hello, This might sound silly to you, but after you made the changes,
BEFORE you click OK, did you click APPLY first?

In Vista and Windows XP all folders have the attribute Read Only enabled by
default for OS use. The folders are not read only. For folders just ignore
the read only attribute.

Verify. Check the properties of several other folders. You will find that
they are all marked read only.

Apply has nothing to do with it. The Apply button was designed for multiple
Tabs where one may make a change on one Tab then another then another and so
on. When you make a change on a single Tab and click OK it makes the change
right then and you close.
