You mention permissions, but maybe you mean file attribute. My Windows XP
does the same thing, and I believe it is normal behavior. There is a
difference between a read-only file attribute and a read-only permission,
and since you have a behavior discrepancy between Administrator and User,
you probably have a permission problem. Have you verified the NTFS
permissions?

Sorry for Cross-post from the Win 2 K list, but no response there and I
thought you guys might be bored on a Friday.
... I have a work-related problem. Boring, I know.
On a W2k3 Server, which is acting as a file-server and a Terminal Server (I
know; but it's only 7 seven people), one folder and all it's sub-folders
keeps reverting to Read-only.
Symptoms: try to save as a normal user in Excel, and it say that the folder
you are trying to save to is read-only. Save as Administrator and it's fine.
If I look at properties on the Folder, the Read-Only tick-box is grey-ticked
(It has a tick, but not fully: like a backup folder where only half the
sub-folders are going to be backed up). If I untick it, it asks if I'm sure
I want to do this for sub-folders as well, I say yes, and it takes a few
minutes changing all the permissions on itself and sub-folders. Go back out,
look at properties again, and the half-tick is back.
This folder is in the root of the drive, so I don't think it can be
inheriting read-only permissions from above.
Any ideas?
