    OK. I must be missing something here, not seeing what you
    are seeing in the NTFS permissions editor.
    Basically, your scenario could be closely approximated if
    you have share level allowing Change to Users (you want them
    able to save new files), and then for NTFS permissions they
    will need grants for users of
    List and Read
    and Write that is set to Files Only
    and due to temp files the Creator Owner Modify
    To set the Users effectively if one starts with a grant
    that has only Write showing in the generic view and then go
    into advanced and edit to change this to Files only, then apply
    and ok to get back to where you can add Read/Execute for
    Users (which will include List). If you then check in the
    advanced view you should see two ACEs for Users.
    If you do things in other orders it can get difficult as the
    NTFS editor will merge ACEs when it sees they are redundant
    and you do not get the change to adjust the advanced settings
    the way you want.
