win7 ELS root folder can not set to "read-only" how ?

[b2arxx1 0]

 even though  I log into as administrator  ,  I can not cancel  the "read only"   box       why ? 

 

 I have tried  use  DOS : attrib command     but it istill not work    

 

 

 

  I  make sure that  do the following     besides under  the red mark 

• Make sure you aren't using a crack - We don't support cracks
• Update GTA IV to 1.0.7.0 (the latest version of the game, or 1.1.2.0 for EFLC) - This sometimes fixes a wide variety of issues
• Make sure that you run the game as an administrator.
• Make sure that your GTA IV root folder (and every subdirectory) is not set to "read-only"
• Ensure that ScriptHook.dll, ScriptHookDotNet.asi and Dsound.dll OR Xlive.dll are in the GTA IV ROOT folder
• Ensure that there is a folder titled 'LCPDFR' in the ROOT GTA IV folder.
• Check that all the above files exist, if they do not, reinstall LCPDFR with the MANUAL installation.
• Ensure that you are using up to date versions of every LCPDFR dependency and LCPDFR itself.
• Install these: .Net Framework 4.5, Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2012

This is more or less a computer issue, but since it's related to GTA IV I'm moving to GTA IV Support Requests.

 

Try going through these threads and see if any of them help.

Don't bother, the permissions are broken in Windows 7. You can't actually turn off read only on a folder, only the files. Consider turning off UAC instead.

Windows folders are setup to always show the read only box checked if you look at it after you change it.  It is just that way.  If you click it off and hit apply, it will change all your files to not read only.  look at some of the files in the folder and the properties should have changed.
