In your initial posting you spoke of share permissions, which
are found with the Permission button on the Sharing tab in the
properties of a folder. It is now apparent that you are speaking
of the NTFS permissions of the folder.

Yes, defining a folder to have just a specific, intended set
of NTFS permissions is possible. Uncheck the box in the
NTFS Security dialog that indicates the folder is allowed
to inherit from its parent folder. Also, use the Advanced
tab to see whether there are any grants or denies that are
special and being masked from view in the generic permission
view of the settings.
