I've had some exposure/experience with Unix and linux, so this is very 
puzzling to me...

Why is it that, for file/folder permissions in my XP Pro systems, there is 
this critter, "CREATOR OWNER", who has no permissions?  From what I've 
read at TechNet, "C/O" has full permissions for a number of folders, 
including "Program Files" and "Documents and Settings" (the complete 
sub-path for each of them) as well as some others.

Anyway, could someone please explain to me Microsoft's conception of 
"owner"?

Either this is something completely different from "owner" in x-nix 
systems, or all permissions are unchecked because "C/O" already has full 
permsissions and so the boxes need not be checked.  (If this is the case, 
then, why are they checked for Administrators?)

Thanks!
