  2. File permissions inherited from one folder persist after the files are moved to another folder in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

File permissions inherited from one folder persist after the files are moved to another folder in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you move files from one folder to another folder by using Windows Explorer on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. In this situation, the file permissions from the original folder may persist on the moved files.

This issue occurs when you define access control entries (ACEs) by using the same level of file permissions on the original folder and on the destination folder, but have group accounts that have different relative IDs (RIDs).

For example, you configure the following file permissions on two folders:
  • Folder1
    GroupA: Full Control
    GroupB: Read
    Administrators: Full Control
  • Folder2
    GroupC: Full Control
    GroupD: Read
    Administrators: Full Control
In this example, when you move files from Folder1 to Folder2, the files are supposed to inherit file permissions from Folder2. However, the file permissions from Folder1 incorrectly persist on the files.

Note If you change the file permissions for any of the ACEs on Folder2 (for example, you change the file permission for GroupD from Read to Write), the files correctly inherit file permissions from Folder2.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
    VersionProductMilestoneService branch
    6.1.760
    0.16xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2RTMGDR
    6.1.760
    0.21xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2RTMLDR
    6.1.760
    1.17xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2SP1GDR
    6.1.760
    1.21xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2SP1LDR
  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, extremely important issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 R2 and for Windows 7" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
