That is the way it works in a domain. If you need to control access to a
folder to be a single user you will have to add the domain users account to
the ACL for a folder that already exists. Normally when setting up domain
users you can assign home folders via their user account in AD Users and
Computers or use Folder Redirection. That may not work well as an after the
fact configuration but it is something to consider. The links below explain
more. --- Steve
