The user who creates the folder should be the owner unless that user is a
member of the administrators group so keep that in mind when testing your
results. You can change the behavior for administrators with the security
option in at least Windows XP Pro/2003 for system objects:default owner for
objects created by members of the administrators group which you can change
from the default administrators to object creator. Check that security
option via Local Security Policy [secpol.msc] under local policies/security
options.
Creator owner is only available in the child folders of a parent folder so
you are experiencing normal behavior and should be there by default with
full control when you create a folder. There are command line tools such as
fileacl that allows an administrator to change ownership on any folder and
this can be done via Windows Explorer in Windows 2003. --- Steve
