'Public' folder security messed up

First of all an alarm: Can you believe Administrator account on my Vista
machine had no password 8={. I can't remember being asked to set one up.

Now to my question: I moved some files from my personal 'my downloads'
folder to the 'Public' folder and I wanted to take write privilege off these
files but in error set 'deny read and execute'. Now, I can access them with
Admin privileges only. I have reset privileges back to what they were but no
luck.

Any thoughts!! I am puzzled. I can't move them or cut and paste them even
under Admin account. I get 'access denied' message.

We heard you the first two times. One post on the subject is sufficient,
wait for someone to reply that has an answer.

Sorry. I thought I needed to re-write in the interest of clarity. I deleted
the other two that were written in a rush. My apologies.

If you need to add to a post it's best to reply to your original post,
rather than having 3 separate ones on the same subject, and for future
reference you CAN'T delete posts, they are still there, you just deleted
then from your newsreader.
