    Hi

    I have a folder that I can't access - "Permission Denied" (as Domain and
    machine Administrator).

    I thought I'd simply take ownership of the file but the Security tab under
    folder properties simply doesn't appear.

    I've tried using CACLS to update the permissions, but it won't let me do
    this.

    I've gone to the folder's parent folder and tried to propagate permissions
    down to the sub folders and it failed when it got to the folder in question.

    So, I'm assuming that the folder has either a corrupted ACL or the ACL has
    been deleted.

    Any suggestions as to how to overwrite the ACL? I'd be delighted simply to
    delete the folder, it's contents are irrelevant and can be regenerated.

    Thanks in advance everyone

    Griff

    PS - this is a follow-up post to one entitled "NTFS permissions" I posted
    earlier before I had the full picture - I thought I'd repost with a more
    suitable subject line.
