C'mon, the so-called system allows you to give yourself the rights manually through the dialog, but doesn't give them automagically when you, logged in as yourself, create the folder. I guess about 2% of the cost of Windowses goes to the heavy security cost, which is fully awake 24/7, watching that no bit of logic sneaks in.

Calm down boy! The better question is Why is there Not a Q/A section, were someone (like me) would have found the Answer with instructions on how to solve the issue. So far, this site has been a excellent place to pick minds about VFP issues. There may be other sites, but they then to respond to my question with a "That question has been ask before", without providing a link to the solution.
