Thanks to this and some other threads I've come to understand it.

If there's thousands of folders, how can I find the one or two that are wrong?

Very good notion! I checked the folder properties and it's read-only. I should have admin rights - (Win XP2) after all, nobody else uses my machine, I have no problems installing and deleting programs, but still can't uncheck Read-only. (It looks ok, but every time I open properties, Read-only is checked)
