I'm trying to share a folder where the root of that folder will be read-only but the subdirectories need to be read/write access. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the process for doing this on any Windows 2K/XP/Server 03 installation. Anyone done anything like this before. Or is it impossible.

So... set the read only on the root.... then set the ACL to allow write on the subdirectories....
You are likely having a problem with inherited permissions. Simpy uncheck whatever box allows the permissions to propagate to child objects.

You need to stop the child directories inheriting the permisions from the parent directory. Right click on the folder you want to have read/write access, untick the inherit permissions and then give whoever you want read/write access. Goto the parent folder and give the same user read only.

Hey Nick
I had the same problem with Microsoft Outlook. I couldn't send any mail. It kept saying..something about Permission...I would scream at my monitor and say...Yes I give permission.
What I did was called Customer Service of my DSL and they helped me. Now I don't see the dumb permission word anymore. How he fixed it...DON'T ASK. When I have problems and can't fix...I call a Tech. I'm not tecnical.

You can do it, but make sure the subdirectories are not inheiriting their properties.

Execute(E) - Can change sub folders and run executable files, should do it. (Where's Novell's Grant command when you need it?)
