Make sure you are logged on as an administrator ["net user username" and check group
membership]. Do you get any error messages? What is the problem with the security
folder? If the boxes are grayed out that means you have inherited permissions or you
may not have permission to change permissions though any administrator can always
take ownership which will give them the right to change permissions. --- Steve
