    If - on a remote disk under Windows NT - I am the owner of a directory,
    it is possible that I cannot access (i.e. read) some files in
    subdirectories, but I can in any case delete the root directory and so
    also the file I cannot access to. There is any way to gain the reading
    permissions on such a file?

    thanks,

    Stefano
