Sorry I did not make it clear earlier. When I do a clean install of WIN XP one of the first things I do is to move the "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents" folder and it's contents to F:\My Documents. And the "My Music" folder I refer to is in here. I created a new folder called "My Music 1" and successfully downloaded several filed into it. I then created another folder called "My Music" in G:\Backups\My Music and LimeWire hac no problem here either. On the read only issue - all of my folders are read only by default and when I attempt to remove it all returns t0 read only almost instantly.

Seems like a silly thing to work on a small problem so hard.
