Hello,

I did as suggested. First, through Security/Advance for the shared
drive, I had to reset the owner to Administrator for all subcontainers
and objects. THEN, I reset permissions for children. Doing the
latter without doing the former did not work. I would get an access
denied message for the affected folders and files.

Further to the above, I think the problem stems from my creating
folders and files from another peer-to-peer computer. When I create a
folder or file on the shared drive using the second computer, the
owner is me, karlo. There is no login user named karlo in the first
computer. However, there is a karlo in security settings, giving
karlo access to the shared drive.

I noticed that the problematic files or folders have no one assigned
as owner. Is this an indication of the root cause of the problem?
How can I create a folder or file in the first computers shared drive
and ensure that all allowed Users retain access?
