aha so thats what it is. all you have to do is add permissions for you in the security tab.

edit: did it work?

I can get into all files fine. This is just a bug and someone knows how to fix it.

Err.
Try:

Start a registry editor (e.g., regedit.exe).
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer subkey.
Select New, DWORD Value from the Edit menu.
Enter a name of 'UseSystemForSystemFolders' and press Enter.
Double-click the new value, set it to 1, and click OK.

reboot.

No, its not actually read only and isn't a form of protection. Its just something thats always been odd about XP's default display.
