If the parent folder is already private, locks will not appear this was a design choice because otherwise every single folder in your user profile would have a lock icon by default and it would look cluttered. For example, say you share your pictures library, but there's on specific folder inside there that you don't want shared.
If you right-click it and choose "Share with nobody", it will get a lock. Sorry, I think I'm doing a really bad job of describing it. Take at look at this source finally found it after some digging :. To avoid clutter, the overlay is shown only when there is a transition from non-private to private.
Otherwise you'd have a lock overlay on everything in your Documents folder, for example. No longer present as an overlay is the sharing hand. Why was the sharing hand removed in favor of the private overlay? Given the changes in how people use computers, sharing information is becoming more and more of the default state.
When you set up a HomeGroup, pretty much everything is going to be shared. To remove the visual clutter, the information was moved to the Details pane. What's more, a single overlay cannot express the different ways an item can be shared, so in order to figure out what the deal is, you have to go to the Details pane anyway.
Keep in mind there are inherited permissions i. Create a folder called TopFolder in a temporary area and share it. Right-click and choose Properties on the NotShared folder.
Click the Security tab, then the [Advanced] button, and note that the [ ] Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent box is checked. Press the [Change Permissions When prompted, choose [Add] to give the NotShared folder its own, non-inherited permissions. Remove permissions for Everyone , Users and Authenticated Users if they are present and ensure Administrators is present with Full Control permissions - you'll want to be able to delete this folder later.
Really stupid, basic question, but can you get to the files in the folders identified with padlocks when you connect to whatever shared area they're a part of? In the case of the above example, the padlock icons didn't go away until I removed Users and Authenticated Users from the list of entities with permissions.
I'm just pointing out that you can set share permissions seperately from the security settings you show above, and these are what control the. I've chatted with some folks at the sgell team and am assured it's working as designed, but I will try your steps later and see if i can reproduce your issue.
My system is customized, but it shows as i expect them to according to the published criteria in the TechNet database. You have actually only posted some mostly useless partial screenshots. Just showing names in the Security panel is too simplistic. What permissions do they actually have? Noting the Everyone and Users groups , what permissions do they have?
Bin and Documents and Settings folders on your drive at all? Your system looks to be kind of a mess. No one is going to be able to explain something in general terms that is dependent on specific settings on your computer without doing a thorough analysis.
So yes, it actually IS kind of your issue. Since the Lock icon is supposed to indicate an inability to see into that folder from a network connection even though you've shared something at a parent level, can you see into those folders from another computer via a network connection?
Imagine that. I had left the Show Hidden Files setting turned off. Sorry about that. Is it possible your whole volume is shared? I know I've shared mine for easy access from my other systems. It seems Explorer must be closed and restarted before the Navigation pane recognizes that the user wants to show Hidden files.
Not the files pane, though. Typical level of consistency. I've always just ignored them anyway because I know what's shared. I'm thinking these lock icons maybe have more to do with the dumbed-down Homegroup type "simplified" sharing I turned that off in the first few nanoseconds I was running Windows 7.
It reminded me of that bimbo in the Microsoft commercial who thought up that Windows 7 should be simpler right in the back of a taxi. There should be a law against publishing commercials that incite feelings of choking someone. By the way, I can get to any of the folders that have a lock on them from other systems, just as I can any other folder, because I make connections using my credentials, and of course I'm in the Administrators group.
Again, the security tab will not affect the display or non-display of the padlock ovrlay. In addition, your All Users folder would have a lock if it is not shared, but the parent folder, 'Users', was.
Accessible in the security tab by more than one user does not mean 'shared'. As I and my contacts at the shell development team cannot reproduce this issure, I'm dropping the investigation for now. If we can be provided specific steps or circumstances that cause a padlock to appear when they should not or vice versa , we'll look again. Hey Shawn, I'd like to dispute this statement, specifically.
I've listed easy-to-follow steps above in the post starting with "It's a little more complicated" that prove it wrong. Derosnec, I know you mean well, but your pictures are all but worthless to anyone who knows about permissions.
There is depth beyond just the list of users who have been granted permissions - i. In your example the permissions granted Gilligan, for example, could be different between the two folders - and thus possibly somehow involved in the difference in lock icons. The exercise I posted above where just removing specific groups of users from the list causes the lock icon to appear is the best way to demonstrate that the lock icon is in fact at least partially involved with the Security tab.
Why isn't there solid documentation from Microsoft that describes what these locks mean? A web search turns up millions of people wondering what it does, but no real documentation. Something Microsoft just doesn't want to talk about? I don't see that proof in your pictures. I'm surprised you think they prove anything at all. Don't be so quick to judge, my friend.
I make a lot of mistakes, but this isn't one of them. You could have other differences between those two folders. You're only showing one of them. It's an incomplete showing as I have said. That you're showing a difference in the Security tab proves nothing. Are we supposed to take it on faith that there are absolutely no other differences? That the security permissions afforded to Gilligan in one case are identical to the other?
That they are shared or not shared identically? Maybe just folders that start with M have padlocks. The funny thing is that we're on the same side of the argument. You're just putting up oversimplified images that prove nothing. Not really. Now derosnec will have to sweat over deleting his post in which he quotes mine. Sorry for the inconvenience, derosnec.
Not sure if you're joking, but just how do you feel you can judge that? By my picture? I'm proud of my efforts to help people here. I can't imagine you could possibly be proud of your behavior.
