Security Question.

[Wiley Coyote - N2K]

I have set NTFS perms on the Root of my system volume to EVERYONE: Deny
Write. Yet, I can still create folders and files! I've been an SE for a
longggg time and never saw this before.

This acount that I am using is NOT a member of any supernumery group, just
a plain jane user account. I logged in with admin rights to check the NTFS
perms and all seems to be OK as follows:

System: CHANGE (not FC),
Everyone Read & Exec, List, Read ((Deny Write),
C.O. : nada,
Administrators: Change,
Users: Read & Exec, List, Read (Deny Write)

One of the reasons for this level of security is to prevent certain web
sites from dropping VB apps in the root and other silly things.

Anyway, just curious.

If anyone know what is happending that would be good.

Thanks.
