Hello,
I have a good understanding of NTFS permissions, but I have a bit of a head scratcher.
When I set special permissions on a file, so that I have the exact same set of advanced permissions as "Read & Execute", OTHER than "Read Permissions", I am unable to open a file.
If I tick the "Read Permissions" permission, so that it is now exactly the same as "Read & Execute", I can then open the file.
My question is, why do I, or any user, require the "Read Permissions" permission to just open a file. I am not attempting to look at the permissions of the file, so I wouldn't imagine this would be required.
If someone could clarify, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Eds
