I'm struggling to understand the Folder Permission - Read
& Execute, and even to put my question down into words,
so this might not make sense, but here goes:-

Read & Execute allows a user to Traverse folders, (which
allows the user to reach files/folders in subdirectories
even if the user does not have permission to access
portions of the directory path), and perform the
actions permitted by the 'read' and 'list folder
contents' permissions.

So when you allow Read and Execute on a folder, both
the 'read' and 'list folder contacts' check boxes are
checked as well as the 'Read and Execute' permission.

If you only apply 'read' permission to a folder you can
list folder contents, open the files (but not save them
back) and traverse the folders and subfolders.

If you only apply 'list folder contents' you can see
what's in the folder, but you can't open files and you
can traverse folders and subfolders.

I fail to see what advantage 'Read and Execute would give
you??

Any help appreciated

From "Help & Support Center":

For folders: Traverse Folder allows or denies moving through folders to
reach other files or folders, even if the user has no permissions for the
traversed folders. (Applies to folders only.) Traverse folder takes effect
only when the group or user is not granted the Bypass traverse checking user
right in the Group Policy snap-in. (By default, the Everyone group is given
the Bypass traverse checking user right.)
For files: Execute File allows or denies running program files. (Applies to
files only).

Setting the Traverse Folder permission on a folder does not automatically
set the Execute File permission on all files within that folder.

actually before READ and EXECUTE are

READ and CONFUSED
READ and UNDERSTOOD.

If you follow the order you can READ and EXECUTE.
