Regarding File Sharing Permissions, what is difference between Allow unchecked/Deny unchecked, and Allow unchecked/Deny checked?

In Windows XP, if I right click a folder in Windows Explorer and go to "Sharing and Security", and then the "Sharing" Tab, and then "Permissions", I am offered the following choices:

Allow or Deny:
Full Control
Change
Read

What I don't understand is you can:
Uncheck Allow and Uncheck Deny
or
Uncheck Allow and Check Deny

What is the difference???  If Allow is unchecked doesn't that imply Deny?  I assume there is a finer point I am missing here.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
