system administrator by default in permissions?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

It is probably because the folder you are sharing has permissions on it's
parent folder that doesn't have administrator as part of that access. When
you create a folder inside another, it inherits permissions from the parent
folder, and it keeps those permissions the same unless you change them.
