Folder ACL

[GriffithsJ]

Hi

I have a folder that I can't access - "Permission Denied" (as Domain and
machine Administrator).

I thought I'd simply take ownership of the file but the Security tab under
folder properties simply doesn't appear.

I've tried using CACLS to update the permissions, but it won't let me do
this.

I've gone to the folder's parent folder and tried to propagate permissions
down to the sub folders and it failed when it got to the folder in question.

So, I'm assuming that the folder has either a corrupted ACL or the ACL has
been deleted.

Any suggestions as to how to overwrite the ACL? I'd be delighted simply to
delete the folder, it's contents are irrelevant and can be regenerated.

Thanks in advance everyone

Griff
