UAC is the cause of this I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and
turning it off fixes this.

> Hi, all--

> I host some Windows 2003 file servers on which users sometimes share
> executable files along with their data files. We're looking at moving
> to Windows 2008, but it seems that whenever a folder contains an
> executable file, some form of write-protection is applied to the folder,
> affecting administrators as well as users. My "effective permissions"
> are 'Full Control', but when I try to overwrite a file in the folder I
> get "access is denied." I've heard that this is a "feature" of Windows
> 2008, to prevent malicious overwriting of executable files. Is there a
> way to get around this, or turn it off?

> Thanks!
