Windows 2000 server, most have w2k computers, a couple
with winxp computers.
I have a Users folder for all the users. U:\username.

One manager wants permission to her assistant's U folder.
I go into the server and right click on the assistant's U
folder, choose Properties | Security, and add the
manager's name onto the list with modify rights.

I then give the manager a shortcut on the desktop to the
assistant's U folder. The manager can get into the folder
just fine.

However, the next day, the manager is unable to get into
that folder. I check the permissions on that folder and
the manager's username is not there anymore. I again re-
set the permissions...and a day or so later, the manager's
username is again gone from the permissions list of the
assistant's U folder.

I have other U folders that I have given permission to
other users and they don't have this problem.

What is going on here?

Thanks.
Ngan
