In the files containing folder, open the properties, security tab, set to
everyone, (as you would with the file), click advanced, check "Replace
permissions on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to
child objects". Now everytime the file is re-created, it will always have
the permissions that you want.
-- Some people have recently voiced their displeasure in my binary posts and comments. If you are one of them, complain to my Administrator! Postmaster@ranko.d2g.biz (for those of you who are wondering, is this a gag? yes it is. I'm the Administrator) 3)
