Root level folder stuck at read-only

[Steve]

I have an ordinary user directory that was created on this computer
under W2K, but has somehow gotten marked as read-only. Although I can
view the properties and clear the read-only flag, the directory
remains read-only. There's nothing unusual in the security attributes;
this particular directory is full access for everyone. The only thing
I can think of that's odd about it is that it's fairly large, about
10K files totalling some 6 GB. Hints?

Windows ignores the read-only attribute of folders.
