Folder Permissions

We have a Windows 2008 Standard 32-bit server and it has a Shared folder on the C drive. When trying to access the Security tab it says "To continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties. Do you want on continue?"

If I click continue I get a message saying "Can't open access control editor. Invalid value for registry."

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I think the culprit is that UAC was turned off, but the server wasn't rebooted. I will reboot the server tonight to see if it clears up the issue.

Right click the folder and click properties. Click on share and click the Permissions button. What are the permissions listed there? I always add "everyone" as having "full control" at that location and use the security tab to further lock things down.

If that doesn't resolve the issue, you may need to take ownership and reset permissions from a higher level.

Is the folder you're working with in the root of C: or is there another folder it's in?

Rebooting the server after UAC was turned off did fix the issue.
