I have a similar problem as JMK. I have a shared folder on machine B (XP
Home) that has been updated from machine A (XP Pro). The files were given
EVERYONE READONLY permissions. Now I need to delete those files (as they
contain personal financial information), but I get an "Access Denied" error.
I have tried using all of the limited accounts on Machine B, as well as the
computer admin account. I have also have created a cmd file with a delete
command that I had run as a scheduled task before logon and tried the same
with a registry hack to the run key. I have also tried to edit the access
control list (CACLS) with no success. This article just says that default
READONLY permissions to EVERYONE in a shared directory is an enhancement to
XP SP2.
