Folders are always read-only.

Assuming Win 7 (or Vista), right click on the folder, click on Properties, select the security tab and make sure the username for the computer you are on is shown. If it is, click on the name and see if it has all permissions - in the lower box.

If your name is not there, select Edit and when the box comes up, select Add and type in your username, i.e. Dave, in my case. Once added select Okay. Make sure the Full Control box is checked.

If that does not work, select Advanced, select the Owner tab and see if you own the folder. If not, select Edit and see if you name comes up and select it. If not, add it. Make sure to check the box that starts off with "Replace owner on...".
