A default installation is already pretty secure for W2003 for ntfs in the
root folder which gives users read/list/execute permissions only. I would
try setting it back to that or at least giving them list permissions also.
If problems still persist you can restore permissions for the root folder
with the rootsec.inf security template either using the Security
Configuration and Analysis mmc snapin tool or using secedit command line
tool and start over. --- Steve
