When secuirty options are greyed out it means A) the folder is inheriting permissions from the parent directory... or B) you no longer have permission to edit security A) from the security tab, if you click on advanced, then untick the 'inherit from parent' box and apply, this should remove the greyed out boxes or B) if you don't have permission and your an administrator, goto the advanced tab again, then the Owner tab and change it to yourself hope this helps EDIT: although already answered! must make sure I'm at the last post before adding a reply
