j,
I've put my comments inline below.......

I do accept that you completely understand this stuff. I admit that I do
not. I accept that winXP does this business 'more restrictively' than
win2k does; as I have seen it in action. Is this a good place to start?
Yes, I did notice that all the "local" users were all (GXP/-somevalue-).
Never saw 'workgroup' where I work on all my w2k machines. If I log on to
ALL of my machines as UName2/pw2, then I expect that all of my machines
accept this "user" as valid. W2k does. XP does not. Very strange. That
is all. Just very strange. Still. I will get over it, eventually........... :)
Rule of file share rights is most restrictive settings define the
effective rights to a share. So a folder set to "full control" for
"everyone" shared as "read+execute" for "everyone" will only allow RX.
Directory/file security works similarly: Explicit Deny rights trumps
implied or
explicit Allow rights.
Perhaps I am confused by the "everyone" label. I thought that anybody in
the "workgroup" might be part of "everyone." Seems not for winXP. WinXP
seems to focus on itself. And even when it might be part of a larger LAN
group of "workgroup." Yes, I remain stubborn and confused.
Even with inherit, you can add rights for a subfolder by simply adding the
user/group & setting their ACL's as long as the parent does not set a
Deny, or as you have found you can disable inheritance & define the ACL
explicitly per folder.
Well there is the ACL acronym again. Is this like Access Control
License? Admit, I just do not get it, but it might be why XP does not play
well with w2k. Perhaps w2k is more liberal. XP is more locked down.
OK....... :)
I have to live with this situation, or, kill the XP machine and redo it as
w2k for basic synergy. Do not wish to do this. I do know that I have to
move to XP sooner or later. Perhaps I need to look at my long range LAN
plan again........... LOL!
Ultimately, I do have "it" working, but now when I view my NetNieghborhood
for GXP, it now shows me "Documents" as another 'share' directory. More
research needed........ I will get this one day. I know I am thick about
this. I ask for a bit of patience..............
Best,
Duncan
