"Set ownership & permission" workaround not doing anything?
Okay, just to be clear what I want is for the shares to be completely open over CIFS on my home network (guest access, the works basically).
1.
So I have a share with some folders in the root that look like this. (The special permissions for "nobody" give full authorization from what I can see.) I don't know how they got this way, but I want to correct it. There's a lot of them, so I don't wanna do it manually
2.
Files being created in such a folder get these security settings. This creates a problem for executables, which I'm not allowed to execute. I can read/write files though.
3.
I want files and folders to have authorizations like this (or it's equivalent through special permissions I guess). Like this I don't have any problems and other shares have their setting like this.
4.
The share in this example has it's settings like this in RAIDiator.
(same for folders)
5.
... and these are the settings I'm trying to impose on the share.
Am I wrong in expecting my folder settings to change by doing this? How can I get full access working on these files/folders again?

- The nobody account isn't special, it's just the user account used for guest access. The Advanced Options settings you posted should open up access for the files, but I'm not sure what affect it will have on the executability of the files.

Hm, well it doesn't unfortunately. After I run it it leaves the folders the same way, like in the first picture above. And any new files being created get the settings like in the second picture and that means I can't execute.
Is there something else I can do to "force" all these folders (and files) to get full authorization?
