<from an earlier post that is no longer getting replies,
so i reposted my questino:>

Okay, I tried those things and still have problems. This
one really is confusing me, here is where I'm at:

On two different folders, in the D: drive, with identical
settings:

Owner is set to Administrators
As for permissions:
Administrators - Full control, not inherited
Everyone - Full control, except take ownership -inherited
from D:
MyUsername(also an admin) - Full control, except take
ownership - inherited from D:

--------------------------------------
both these folders have identical settings, yet i can
access D:\Folder1, but NOT D:\Folder2. EVERY setting is
the same. what gives?

Is there any way to just erase all ownership and
permissions and just have everything accessible to
everyone,even with me being the only user on this
machine?!?

Thanks guys,
Pete
