John,

When you say you can see this folder as an Administrator, can you run the script and get the information you're requesting when run as an administrator or does it also fail to find the file?

There is no magic bullet either from KiXtart or any other application (that is not attempting to circumvent and possibly exploit a flaw in the system) that can show the permissions on a file that a user can not gain access to that level. You could though use a remote administrative script and check it on any remote system that you have Administrative rights on.

I'm curious if there is a possible error in your script or not is why I ask. I'm not at work right now but my home computer in a Workgroup does allow all normal user READ access to this folder location. Not sure, but I'd think that it is or would be the same on a Domain as well.
