Setting Permissions in XP Pro

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

parent object
[[The object in which another object resides. A parent object implies
relation. For example, a folder is a parent object in which a file, or child
object, resides. An object can be both a parent and a child object. For
example, a subfolder that contains files is both the child of the parent
folder and the parent folder of the files.]]

[[There are two types of permissions: explicit permissions and inherited
permissions.

Explicit permissions are those that are set by default when the object is
created, by user action.

Inherited permissions are those that are propagated to an object from a
parent object. ]]
