Error Applying Security (Network Share)

I am experiencing a problem with permissions on a network share subfolder. I
have a network share which all users had full control of. I attempted to
modify the security settings on a subfolder of this share so that only
certain users could modify the subfolder’s contents. Upon doing so everyone
(even domain administrators) lost access to the subfolder. Upon losing
access I was unable to open the contents of the subfolder and unable to apply
further security settings to that subfolder. After the problem occurred I
reset all permissions so that the original (everyone – full control) to see
if that would solve the problem. However, Upon attempting to reset the
permissions I received the error message “Error applying security settings.
Access is denied�.

Could anyone please help me understand how to fix this? Thanks.

Make sure you are logged on as an administrator and take ownership of the
folder first. The owner of a folder can always change permissions to it even
if they have no permissions. Open un the folder
properties/security/advanced/owner and change owner to administrators. Also
check the box to replace owner on subcontainers and objects. Then hit OK and
you should be able to change permissions. --- Steve
