Im trying to uncheck my read only attribute of my atari folder. Whenever I do it unchecks. after I apply it and look at the properties again. i tried googleing and I came up with You cannot view or change the Read-only or the System attributes of folders in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, in Windows Vista or in Windows 7 however, i am having a problem. The file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\atari
and I typed in attrib -r +s C:\Program Files (x86)\atari at the command prompt and got the error parameter not correct. Any idea why?

btw I have windows 7 home premium 64 bit
 
Open a command prompt with admin privileges and type the following commands:

cd\
cd "Program Files (x86)"
takeown /f atari
ICACLS atari /grant administrators:F

Now try to make them non-read only. (Should already be that way now though)
 
This is exactly what I typed in in my cmd prompt. Afterwards, It was still checked, and I couldnt uncheck it still :(
