Hi,
I have a strange problem kindly help me.
I have a share called marketing on windows 2003 server. All marketing people have ?full control? permission on that.
Now if I create a folder under marketing and remove all permission except administrator (removed inheriting permission from parent), but anybody can delete the folder still!!!!!
is it bug??
Thanks guys

It is not a bug if you want you can set full control permission to Marketing group and for others set it as read only permission so that they should not delete it.

Thanks,
If you get any clue by saying that it is a bug then pelase inform me.

thanks,

hi sayir

when you say all people can delete subfolders, i presume its only all marketing people?

if so you need to give them modify rights to the parent marketing folder, which takes away the "delete subfolders" permission, instead of full rights which allows them to delete.

modify will still allow them to create their own files and subfolders (they can delete their own subfolders though).

Dear Friend,

FIrst of all check the ownership of the folder in owner tab in the security panel.
Give special security as listed in the list of deny list. Check the Delete files and folder check the checkbox and apply.

I hope it will help you.......
