Greetings illuminelf,

I apologize for the delay in our response. If the folders are continuing to reset to 'Read Only', then there may be a setting or permission on your PC that is causing for this to happen. However, if you haven't already, I would recommend performing an uninstall and fresh reinstall of the game to see if that helps with this issue.

We hope we can be of assistance! Thank you for posting in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Technical Support Forums.
