Shared Documents permissions

Brian:
The way to go about this, is to make the C:\ drive independent from
the H:\ drive which is this case seem to be the parent drive.

To do this you need to remove the inherited permissions check mark
from C:\Properties\Security\Advanced\Permissions, "Inherit from
the main object permission entries, etc....

The following links have full details on how to do this, also about how
to asign sharing permisions just in case you need that info.

My Shared Documents folder is operational again. The articles you mentioned
were helpful for removing the incorrect inheritance. The most help in
restoring the correct permissions was simply starting my laptop, looking at
the permissions there, and duplicating them on the desktop machine where
they were wrong.
