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?)
