Hello,

Runing vista as Admin I have not the right to list the contents of many
folders such as the appdata folders belonging to my account name in
c:\Users directory.

By rightclicking on the folder, going to the security section and
deleting the specific right that denys to list the content of the
folder for all users, I can get back to the files.

Why does such a right exist even for the own files, and how can I
disable this for all folders?

Thanks,
Jens
 
As far as I understand deny overrides any access rights granted by any other
group membership. It is the best if you find the source of deny and remove
it or make it at least not inheritable. It is probably better not to use
deny unless you are absolutely need it for the exact reason you have a
problem with.
