You can find the source of the inheritance from checking the NTFS

You need to decide at what level you need to turn off inheritance. Note: You
should copy all inheritance before turning it off because most folders do
need to inherit from the root.

I can't find the source of some inherited permissions to folders
located in D:. I thought maybe it was from the sharing of D: but
further digging shows that not to be the case. Is there a utility
that can print out or show in graphical terms all groups and each
groups members?

Yeh, I can see the inherited permissions to the folder when I check
the advanced permissions of some of my users but the permissions
aren't granted at the parent folder (also the root). This means that
some of my user must be members of a group who have the permissions
but I've checked membership of all groups who I have granted
permissions to the folder and these users are not members. Again,
some sort of utility that would print or show in a graphical way all
groups and their corresponding members would be invaluable.
