Thanks for your replies.

-I can't use setacl.exe because what I really want to do
is to take ownership of the files/folders.

-Yes, I've tried SUBINACL and the problem is exactly what
you've described, having the pop-up box asking me if I
want to reorder the permissions. However, if I
hit "Cancel" instead of "OK", all the ACEs will be gone,
leaving "Everyone" full control to the files/folders.
It would be hazrous to leave the users themselves to
decide if they should like "OK" or "Cancel".

This problem only occurs when there are inherited ACEs in
the DACL since the directly applied ACEs are put to the
end of the DACL when SUBINACL is used. The directly
applied ACEs are supposed to be in front of the inherited
ACEs. Microsoft actually posted a script for reordering
the ACEs, but VB will have to be installed along with the
adsSecurity.dll.

It would be nice if they've something that automatically
reorders the ACEs.

I'll give them a call...
