say you have a folder within a network shared folder that can't be deleted due to permissions.
there is only one group under the Security tab and that group has all permissions BUT Modify and Full Control.
That group is called Domain Users.
here is the problem:
the shared folder or any of its contents within cannot be deleted because there is not a group that has Full Control or Modify permissions. AND i cannot add any groups to the Security permissions because the folders all are under control of the only group that does not have Full Control.
Question:
is there a way to work around the permissions to delete the folder(s) or am i missing something?

thnx

users are not usually given permissions to delete files from network shares for security reasons.

if you created the folder and you're worried about others viewing what you have in the folder just encrypt the folder.

If you're the Administrator, just take ownership of the folder. Then you can set the permissions the way you want them.

If you're not the Administrator, then ask your Administrator set the permissions appropriately.

Is there any limitation on number of users can be connected at a given point for a shared folder in WIN 2K ?
