Have checked out the info as well as the other 3 references regarding
ntfs permissions.....obvious conclusion:
microsoft made a HUGE BUG with ntfs permissions
Nowhere in any of the docs state why the *ADMINISTRATOR* cannot have
full control of a folder or file; the Administrator is being treated
like just another user when it comes to permissions, sometimes, as
in the Administrator must go elsewhere to change sharing permissions
prior to taking ownship of the file.
