I have noticed a bug that if I have a folder open for viewing in
Windows Explorer with Thumbnail view enabled that I often run into
inexplicable problems with modify permissions, say when I want to
rename or delete an item. Changing the view to Detailed or rebooting
seems to make the issue go away
Thanks, I will go the win32security.SetFileSecurity route. It seems a
pity that I can't use platform independant code to sort this out but I
guess you're saying that I've managed to get my files into a non
standard state that needs non standard code to sort it out. I wonder

I'm trying to write to an existing file under windows XP (home). The
files are in 'My Music' which I think may be treated in some special
way under XP. The relevant python code is as follows:
os.chdir(dir)
