File menu access

TS 6.0 Win2K

In my Y: drive, I've set the file access permissions as follows:
1. De-selected checkbox for "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object"
2. Administrator has full control, user group has modify access
3. Enabled "Reset permissions on all child objects".
4. Turned off read-only bits on the site content

In my upload workarea, I have an htdocs folder containing my site content. In the htdocs folder, I can access all File menu options but if I navigate to any sub-folder, the only options available are "Versions" and "Properties". Everything else is greyed out. I'm not sure what is going on. Could it be some permissions propagating down somehow, from TeamSite level and/or OS level?

Also, does anyone have any references to file/folder access and permission documentation?

Thanks.

How are you uploading these files? If it's a task of some sort, who owns the task? What does either the OS or TeamSite say about the ownership of those files? How are you logged in to TeamSite?

I uploaded the files directly into the Y: drive.
It's not a task.
Ownership of the files is inherited from the parent directory's settings, which is basically full control for the administrator and access for a select group of users.
I'm logged in as the administrator in a master role.

Very strange, I agree... when you click on PROPERTIES in TS on one of these files, what does it say about ownership and other settings? Similarly, when you right click and get PROPERTIES in Windows, what does it say?

In TS:
- owner is Administrator
- group is none
- permissions: Administrators have full control, group A has change, group B has read

In OS:
- Administrators have full control
- group A has modify
- group B has read and execute

Figured it out - the read-only bits on the sub-folders were not turned off (but they were turned off for all files).
