Im running XP Pro SP1. I have a number of volumes (NTFS) which I want to
control permissions on and am very perplexed at why thie following is
happenning.
The volume root permissions are:
(Allow) Administrator & Administrators are assigned Full Controll to This
folder, subfolders and files;
(Allow) CREATOR/OWNER is assigned Full Control to Subfolders and files

Now, when I check the Effective Permissions within Windows Explorer
(Rt-clk volume>Properties>Security tab>Advanced button)
for Adminstrators, all is good (Full Control is displayed, e.g. all boxes
are ticked).
But when I then check a specific-named Account (who *is* an Administrator
group member), NO Permissions are available (NOTHING is ticked).
How can this be?
As I understand NTFS permissions in XP Pro, Administrator(s) and Users/Power
Users are mutually exclusive (you are one or the other, not both); I assert
that the same is also true for Authenticated Users (this s/b because it is
the Authenticated Users group and Guests who make up the User group in the
first place).

So how is it that an Administrative group member is denied permissions that
Administrators have???
