PS - I even tried setting the permissions on the department folders to FOLDER ONLY permissions (for applys onto), and the permissions from the department folder were STILL pushed down to the subfolders underneath it when I copied the subfolder1 and subfolder2 over (removing the original permissions of those 2 folders).

I have a folder structure as follows.... -department1 --subfolder1 --subfolder2 -department2 --subfolder1 --subfolder2 .etc The permissions on the subfolders are very specific and they take make awhile to set up. Each time I create a new department folder (and there are TONS of them) I create the 2 subfolders underneath it and have to manually set the permissions on them (which is a pain). Is there ANYWAY I can setup the subfolders so that when I create new department folders, I can copy another folder's subfolders into the newly created folder, and NOT have the subfolder's copied permissions get overwritten by the folder inheritence of the newly created departmental folder? (copying folders ALWAYS inherits the permissions of the parent folder they are copied to... and I do NOT have the option to "move" the folder either). If I didn't explain this well, please let me know.
