wine users - Aug 2010 - How to give write access to a folder ?

I just switched my username on ubuntu from Custom to administator user , im
right clicking world of warcraft folder and choosing Permission , then im trying
to give write access , but when im selecting it , it goes right back to : --- .

When im trying to start WOW its telling me that i need to give write access to
this folder :/

A little hint would help a lot !! 

Thanks in advance :)

Why are you trying to run Wine as root?  This leads to all sorts of troubles. 
Wine is a userspace program designed to be run as an ordinary user.

Ask on the Ubuntu forum. Basic knowledge of your operating system is not a Wine
issue.
