Greetings, We have our first Vista (64 bit untimate/sp1) machine in this Department and have a security related problem. We do a lot of scripting and much of this is with perl. We added the Active State Perl: http://www.activestate.com/index.mhtml If I run a script that creates a directory within my own space and authority, under user\name\documents, the secutiry permissions on the newly created directory are totally crazy. I am listed under "group or users names" but have no permissions set and cannot set them. The icon next to the folder name indicates it is shared but properties indicates it is not shared. If I try to move a folder with explorer I get the message "this folder is shared with other people" and then the option "continue/cancel". If I "continue" it simply hangs. I tried to use a MSDN support incident to get telephone help. Microsoft refused to accept the case because it is a Dell OEM install of vista (the machine is two weeks old). MS said Dell is the primary support contact and refused to let me use a support incident. Dell said it was a MS software problem and hung up (literally). Those Mac ads look better all the time..... thanks for any help! Gary
