[QUOTE="nathanb27, post: 465170, member: 36386"] Thanks for the welcome. I guess I should have given some sort of introduction. In short, I'm a long-time mac user, part-time forum peruser, and first-time poster. This is really the first mac-related problem I've encountered that I couldn't find any sort of lead on through a little searching around. The problem with not being able to apply permission changes to enclosed items seems to be system-wide. I realized the problem when I was trying to add access for my wife to the folder that contains my Parallels Virtual Machine and related files; however, any new folder that I've made or pre-existing folder that I've looked at since has the same issue, so I don't really know when or how the problem began. This issue applies to something as simple as making a new folder on my desktop and putting a couple of text files inside. I can see the "Apply to enclosed items" button, but it's always greyed out, regardless of whether or not I have the lock symbol next to "Owner" locked or unlocked. The same happens with my wife's account. I'll post a picture later today of the option not being available. I'm at work right now, and my macbook's at home. Really, though, a picture wouldn't be that interesting; it looks just like the picture below except with the "Apply to enclosed items" button visible but greyed out. This picture with the button working was taken on my G5 in my office, which is not suffering the problem discussed.
