In the folder permissions, what is the difference
between not having "Full Control" and having "Full Control"?
 
What are you comparing "Full Control" against? Read? Write? Modify?
Have a look in the Windows "Help" facility (Start / Run / NTFS) - here
is what I found. To get the proper tabular display, you need to go in
there yourself.

File permissions
File permissions include Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, Read, and
Write. Each of these permissions consists of a logical group of special
permissions. The following table lists each file permission and specifies
which special permissions are associated with that permission.

Special Permissions Full Control Modify Read & Execute Read Write
Traverse Folder/Execute File x x x
List Folder/Read Data x x x x
Read Attributes x x x x
Read Extended Attributes x x x x
Create Files/Write Data x x x
Create Folders/Append Data x x x
Write Attributes x x x
Write Extended Attributes x x x
Delete Subfolders and Files x
Delete x x
Read Permissions x x x x x
Change Permissions x
Take Ownership x
Synchronize x x x x x

Notes

Groups or users granted Full Control on a folder can delete any files in
that folder regardless of the permissions protecting the file.

permission, see Related Topics.
