Network Share Error Message

[scott]

I'm setting up my first Vista client on our Windows 2003 standard server
domain. When I shared the c drive, I got the below error, yet Vista did
create the share. I should mention that I abbreviated the error below.

It actually showed more folders that the "boot" folder, but I thought this
would be enough for the example.

The domain user account I'm using has full admin rights in AD. Can someone
shed some light on this behavior? Is this error normal and something new in
the way Vista creates shared folders?

ERROR:

error applying security

an error occurred while applying security information to:
c:\boot

access is denied

If you have UAC enabled and are logged in as a normal user (i.e., not
the Administrator account), you have limited rights to write or change
permissions on your root folder. If this is the case, then I would
say this is normal....

Those are the only things that I know of that would cause this...
