I have a folder tree that lists me as the owner (non-administrator), which
inherits permissions from its parent (owned by Administrators), and has my
permissions (full control) defined directly on it. Subfolders and files of
the directory inherit their permissions. The problem I have is that the
folder also lists an additional set of "phantom" permissions to me (same
user) which the Advanced... dialog claims are inherited from the parent
folder, and thus cannot be edited. The parent folder defines no such
permission set. What is going on?
