Re: Folder Security



Look in the advanced tab for the possibilities including checking "inherit
form parent". If you have a lot of folders also take a look at the command
line tool xcacls.vbs but be sure to experiment with on a test computer and
do a full backup first as it is easy to really muck up your permissions with
the wrong syntax. If you mean you simply can not change permissions and are
first trying to take ownership then when taking ownership be sure to select
the option for replace owner on subcontainers and objects. --- Steve
