Hi Everyone,
I am using Win XP Pro SP2 w. latest downloads. Has something subtle
about directory permissions changed recently? I have most of my directories
owned by the Administrators group. For a while this evening, I was having
trouble ADDing Subdirectories and Files. I am logged on to my normal
account which is a member of the Administrators group. Even when I changed
ownership on one directory from the Administrators group to my account, I
still had to go thru the additional step of giving CREATOR OWNER special
permissions, and then those special permissions appeared on all directories,
even those still owned by the Administrators group, and I was OK again - I
apparently can add subdirectories and files at will. Even when I was having
problems, my servers, which run under some type of SYSTEM account, were able
to add files. Has something changed recently about Windows XP, or is this a
subtle issue locally on my machine? When I bring up Windows Explorer and
look at the directories, it still says Read Only. Why does it do that -
this no longer appears to be true?
