Accessing folders owned by another user?

Hi,

I have a user who was going into the security tap of folders in a public
folder and turning off the inherit from parent checkbox and then selecting
remove to block people from seeing her files. Kind of dumb since she could
simply put the files in her home folder, but I digress.

To stop this I took away everyone's full control rights which I assumed
would work. It seems to have worked at some level, however, I found today
that she created a subfolder and did the same thing. Looking into it now I
see that everyone still has the rights to turn off inheritance on objects
they own.

I have three questions, is my observation correct, should a user without
full control of a folder they own be able to turn off inheritance?

If so, is it possible to stop this and how?

Lastly, is there any way I can gain access to this folder without having her
password or changing the ownership of the directory? Is it possible to give
the administrator's account equivelent file rights of a user or group? I
don't want to tip her hand yet that I'm on to her.

Thanks in advance,
Linn
