Privileges changes all the time

I have a couple of folders in my "Public" folder, containing files that I share with others.

But, everytime I restart my computer the privileges are reset to "Read only" on all folders.

Is there any way to make them stay at "Read and Write"?
What is the point in sharing files, othervise?

I have MacOS X 10.1.3.


Thanks for helping me out.
 
You can try to set the owner of the catalogue. Use the terminal to navigate to your public folder. ( cd ~/Public, or just cd Public ). Then you use the chown command to take ownership of the folder. chown -R <yourloginname> <foldername>. Then you can use chmod 777 <foldername> to set all rights for all users, or chmod 755 <foldername> to give read access. Hope this helps!
