Windows 7 Security Permissions

[Shamrock]

Has anyone figured out as to why so many files/folders have to be set separately to allow the Administrator to have full permission? I went to the root drive and had EVERYTHING set to inheritable permissions, and yet all the folders need separate permission settings.

I don't understand why I can't just click the 2 check boxes that say make this the parent folder and set the permission for the rest of the folders. Instead I have to go through to each folder and do this.


Also, the recycle bin on my external is corrupt. What do I do about that?

Oh also, how do I make this drive a network drive? It's telling me on my computer that I don't have the permissions even though it's set on the main computer to allow everything, and I'm pretty sure I set the network settings correctly as I can add the 'public' folders and such as a network drive.

Also, what do the locks on the folders mean in Windows 7?

Today is a bad day for me. Haha.

I was going to assist you in the matter, but I lost interest and instead made a Linux joke. You'll be hearing from me soon and maybe I'll give you a little tech support.
