SYMPTOMS
Access Control Lists (ACLs) for the NTFS file system may be incorrectly ordered on subfolders. This may occur if the Replace permissions entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects check box for the parent folder is selected when there is no subfolder in the parent folder. If you create a subfolder in the parent folder and then click the Security tab for the subfolder, you receive the following warning:

The permissions on subdirectory_name are incorrectly ordered, which may cause some entries to be ineffective. Press OK to continue and sort the permissions correctly, or Cancel to reset the Permissions.

If you click OK and you then click the Advanced button, you see an incorrectly ordered set of permissions. The permissions on the subfolder do not match the order of the permissions on the parent folder. If you click Cancel instead of OK, the subfolder has the Full Control permission for the Everyone group.
