Hi Jeff, You may have a corrupt File ACL. If all else fails try running CHKDSK /F /R. I had the same issue occur on a 3.51 server at LSI Logic back in 1997 and the slash /F /R fixed the corrupted file and allowed me to take ownership.

I am using an account that is a member of the Domain Administrators, and the Domain Administrators is a member of the local Administrators group. The folder is buried deep in the All Users profile and was created by Symantec Anti-Virus 7.5 to hold quarantined items. I took ownership of the parent folder and told Windows to replace the owner on all subfolders and files, but it just says "Access is Denied" when it gets to the Quarantine folder. I tried the command line tools xcacls and cacls with no luck. Does anyone know of a better tool or something that I missed? Thanks for your help!
