I am having the ame problem referred to in "New file copy to shared folder didn't show up in network" at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itpronetworking/thread/aac61015-8ca1-4041-acea-0658acafe0bf I have tried to follow the directions in the How Inheritance Affects File and Folder Permissions link above, and when I get to this instruction: "Clear the Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent. check box. You can then make changes to the permissions or remove the user or group from the permissions list. However, the file or folder will no longer inherit permissions from the parent folder. " The text and the checkbox are grayed out, so I can't make any changes. We are trying to share a folder called "work documents" in the documents folder of the only user's user account, and going up the folder higherarchy, the options are grayed out all the way up to the level of the users folder in the user folder under c:, and that persons user folder has a "lock" next to it even though she has no password set. When the user adds new files to these ahared folder, other users on the network can't see the the new files. Any suggestions?

Hi, Thanks for the post! Did you check the "Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent" box? If you want to other users see the changes in the shared folder, you need to check this box. Right-click the shared folder - Properties - Security Tab - Advanced - Change permission, You need to check both these two options: Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object Then click Apply and OK.
