Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (
More info?)
If I read your post correctly there's more than one folder with this issue.
I've included a helpful article , but what I'd suggest is taking ownership
of your local disk , on the local disk, go to the sec tab , then click
advanced , then owner tab.
Click on the administrators group , check "replace owner on subcontainers
and objects" and click apply , sit back and wait for a prompt to replace
permissions...
This should now re-apply the correct permissions for the administrators
group to your entire drive. ( Or you could just go to any folder that gives
you grief and do the same. )
