Ooops not resolved

I got permissions set on the main folder, but a couple of the subfolders are
denying me permission, even as Administrator, and some of the files are
being denied in the folders that I can access.

I know little about this stuff, but it seems bizarre. It also seems
irrational that the Administrator can be denied permission, yet if a new
user is added, he has permission to delete folders and can wipe out valuable
information. Am I wrong in thinking that an Admin should have all rights,
and a new user no rights until they are granted?

God Bless,

Hello,

I recently set Special permissions on a folder and its subfolders to Deny
Delete and Deny Delete on Folders and Subfolders. The only group listed
was Everyone. After that, I think someone else unchecked Full Control and
Modify permissions. Either that or they unchecked themselves. When I
rechecked Full Control and Modify, they showed up in the special
permissions section. Then I removed all special permissions thinking I
could just start over from scratch, but the group Everyone had disappeared
and no group listed.

Now I can't add a group and can't access the folders. How can I fix this?
The server is running Windows 2003 Small business edition if that matters.

Thank you for any help and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam
