SYMPTOMS
When you specify permissions, there is a Delete Subfolders and Files flag that is useful only on folders. However, this flag also appears when you view file permissions or when you work with a folder and you select Files only as the object to which the Access Control Entry (ACE) applies.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The Delete Subfolders and Files flag is not used for files; ignore this flag for files. This problem is resolved in Microsoft Windows XP.
