When following the instructions sent by Kevin Kirwin, after doing #8, a window appears that says "This will replace explicitly defined permissions on all descendants of this object with inheritable permissions from [the folder name]. Do you wish to continue?" When I click on "Continue", another window appears that says "An error occurred while applying security information to [the folder name, again]. Access Is Denied." All that has 'changed' is there is a 'shortcut' to that folder, in the place where there was the name of the folder with the padlock-symbol next to it. Is it possible that I do not have the "administrative powers" Kevin Kirwin referred to? This is my computer, only. I have always been its only user.
