Permission Problems

[Chungkuo]

I've got a folder on a volume I need to delete but can't, because the
security permission is set for "Everyone" to only have Execute, List,
and Read. I'm in the admin group on that server and when I try to
change the perms on the folder am not allowed to. I've tried logging in
as different admin users to no avail. It looks like it's stuck. Any
clues?

Take ownership of the folder then change the permissions.

Log onto the server with the folder as administrator

Open the properties of the folder and go to the Security tab

Select the Advanced button and give the ownership to the administrator
userid.

You should be able to do what you want at that point

Hi Chungkuo
I have the same problem, usually when I locally login to Win2K server
with Administrator password I can not remove old folders, though I change
their ownership. in this case I go to command prompt and use "RD /S" command
to remove the directory. By the way, I sometimes can remove the same
directory with another user which is equivalent to Administrator. So
strange!

I hope that help

Kind Regards,
