NTFS permissions

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.security (More info?)

When you take ownership at the top you should be getting prompted
as to whether you want permissions changed and if so then also
whether you want that to be done on all the substructure
If you do not need to take ownership, then at the top of the structure
in the NTFS permissions dialog use the Advanced button and in
that adv view use the checkbox to apply the permissons to all
the dependent structure's objects.

You must be owner to all datas.
Take ownership to root folder and all be ok.

Hello,

For your situation, I'd like to explain that even you got the same username
in new OS, it is still a different user with the one in the problematic
folder. So as Roger and Bari you need to take ownership of the all data or
apply the permissons, You may try their suggestions first.

Thank Roger and Bari for assistance.

Best regards,
