Hi All,

Has anyone ever had any problems with Security Explorer from
http://www.smallwonders.com (Small Wonder Software)?

Specifically, with the backup/restore permission function. When
restoring backed up permissions to original location or alternate
locations, I get problems with permissions not being the same as the
backed up copy.

I followed this procedure to reproduce the problem:

1. Backup permissions from a folder on a NTFS partition.
2. Change the permission on some sub-directories.
3. Restore the permission from the backup .sec file.

If i browse down to some of the sub-directories after the restore, the
permissions are all wrong. But the top level directories (ones that
are immediately under the root directory) seems to be fine.

Any help would be appreciated!
