Losing Folder Permissions

[Curt]

Issue: Windows 2000 Server SP4

D:\ - Everyone:Full Control
D:\home - Administrator:Full, Authenticated Users: Modify
D:\home\%username% - Administrator:Full, UserAccount:Full

When a user creates a new folder in their home directory
and names it, the permissions show what is propagated
from the parent. After closing windows explorer and going
back in, the new folder shows Everyone:Full Control.

By doing this, the user also experiences problems trying
to access the folder.

---------------------

You have given Everyone full control at the D: level....so they are going
to have full control on EVERY folder and subfolder on D:, until they are
EXPLICITY denied permission, or the checkbox for "Allow inheritable
permissions...." is cleared.
