Whenever I try to change permissions for the C drive on
CREATOR OWNER and EVERYONE group, it will default back to
no permissions. All of my folders and subfolders have the
read-only flag selected. When I try to uncheck that, it
always reverts back even when logged in as admin.

I tried KB313222 (secedit) also to reset all security
settings to default settings. Same results....read-only
folders and the two groups with no rights.
