Make sure you are logged on as an administrator and take ownership of the
folder first. The owner of a folder can always change permissions to it even
if they have no permissions. Open un the folder
properties/security/advanced/owner and change owner to administrators. Also
check the box to replace owner on subcontainers and objects. Then hit OK and
you should be able to change permissions. --- Steve
