Excellent instructions. I tested the Process Monitor and it solved my problem of missing security settings!

Hi All, I am just wondering where the anonymous account gets added in this example, as in the sample images I see no addition of the IUSR_XXXX account (which I assume would need write permissions to create the log file) before forcing inheritance - or am i missing something obvious?

The blog says to keep submitting your troubleshooting cases along with screenshots and log files... but there's no address, and the e-mail page doesn't allow for attachments.

I'm sure it's an open secret to regulars, but might be worth mentioning for those not in the know ;)

Since copy resets the permissions, it looks like you just need to move files to a new folder then delete the original folder and rename the new folder.

Managing permissions is like herding snakes...

Not so fast...

Grammar maniac,

If you consult your Chicago manual (or similar) you'll find that the criteria picking 'a' versus 'an' depends on how the phrase *sounds*, not the simple (but incorrect) idea of looking at whether the word begins with a consonant or a vowel.

If 'FPSE' is pronounced as "eff-pee-ess-eee", then using 'an' would be correct.

"I wasn’t feeling motivated to become a FPSE expert just to solve this one problem."

should read

"I wasn’t feeling motivated to become an FPSE expert just to solve this one problem."

Apologies to Troy for reading too fast and using the wrong name in my post.

I'd still like to get some clarification why the behavior is different between right-click plus drag-move from the Desktop to a folder versus right-click plus drag-move from within a single Windows Explorer window.

You need to post more often

I'm still waiting for the "Case of the mysterious idle 12:10am Vista csrss related disk activity that lasts 20 minutes and doesn't show up in procmon even with filters turned off and isn't defrag, system restore, indexing, windows update, superfetch, thumbnail cache updates, trustedinstaller, swap usage, or the drive's idle self test."

Nice piece if sleuthing.

Although the error message is still an indication of just how bad software developers are at writing meaningful error handling code.

It's still insane how we have to instantly dive down to the bottom layer to solve these simple problems.

And don't even get me started in the bubbling up of a 32-bit error number to the end user...
