RE: Permissions to my folders and files as administrator

I am getting it on all the folders in Documents and Settings All USers folder
and subfolders. Default User folder and subfolders. I figured out how to
change the security to my user id, but I have to do each and every child
folder. I tried by checking "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" but
it does not seem to filter down the tree. If I apply this to "All Users"
shouldn't all the subsequent subcontainers and objects also change also?
