Access rights reset automagically?

I have a file ABC.XLS
in a folder F, in shared folder SH.
They are on a Win2k file server, in mixed-mode domain DOM.

Problem:
I need to write protect this file F.

I CLEAR the "Allow inheritable rights to propagate.." check box,
and select "Copy", because I need to edit certain permissions.
I edit the permissions (change Authenticated users' rights from RWX to RX).
Apply and close..

There are three people who have permissions to edit this file. Permissions
for these three were set directly on the file (not through a group).

and what happens? Well.. when I go back and check on the rights a few
minutes
later, the "allow inheritable rights.. box" is suddenly checked again, there
by allowing
"Authenticated users" to edit the file.

What is up with that??

Any and all help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Anders :)
