There are two Administrator accounts on my XP Pro system, and I recently
added a Limited user. All of the files I had been using were in the Shared
Documents folder, which the Limited users get access to. I didn't want them
to have access to some folders, so I moved those to another folder under C:\
and made sure both Administrator users had Full Control access to the folders
and files. (Simple File Sharing was turned off long ago.) One of the
Administrators is the Owner of nearly every file that was moved. Now, NO
USER has access to most of the moved files, not even the Administrator who is
listed as their Owner. I can't figure out what is special about the few that
can be opened, but I thought the Administrators group had access to all
files. What gives?
