Interesting one.... I have come access a directory on our File server where the directory = =3D and all the files within (bar one) is in green text rather than black. =3D20 When I try to copy either the directory or any of the green files I get = =3D an "access is denied" message after about 5 minutes of it trying to copy = =3D the files. I can copy the one black text file as I wish. The strange thing is the permissions on the directory and files are =3D inherited from the parent (which is Everyone - Full Control). The green = =3D files and the black file have idenifical permissions and ownership. The files (or drive) are not compressed, or read only. Any idea what is going on here?
