You have to specifically add the "Creator/Owner" user to the file
permission.

By default, this is true. By default also, you inherit permission from the
parent folder. If the parent folder doesn't allow this, you need to either
explicitly add it to either parent or child folders, or remove inheritance.
You may need to claim ownership of the folder yourself to do this.

The obvious thing, is to verify that the user is actually owner.

Hi,

Thanks for your response to the issue I posted November 25
titled "FILE PERMISSIONS".

I understand what you're stating below but let me explain
to you exactly what is happening.

The person having this problem has it all the time. He
has Windows 2000 Installed on his pc but this hard drive
is not formatted to NTFS.

The problem is that when looking at the Security
permissions for the file this user created it shows him as
having "Full Control" yet he can't change the permissions
on the file. Other users with the same permissions are
able to change file permissions but this user cannot.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance,

Leonard
